Reseñas de la Crítica

"Using two narrators is the perfect way to deliver this story, told as the alternating first-person recollections of two fifth-grade boys.... Hurley creates a kind character in Joe, speaking softly in a measured voice, which makes it all the more heartbreaking when the listener discovers that Joe is the target of bullies. Fluent in Hindi, Adam provides a perfect accent for Ravi, the smart and confident boy who also becomes the butt of jokes because of his accent and Indian lifestyle." ( AudioFile)

Love It!

The story is engaging for my students and the performance makes you feel like you are there. I love that Raji has an accent in the reading - it makes it so lifelike. The story leads to great discussions about bullying and accepting differences. I highly recommend this book for upper elementary students - 5th and 6th grades.

The car audio trio

this book is why audio books were invented :-)

my sons are reading this book for a trivia contest at their school. The audio book was a wonderful way for us to listen to it in addition to the reading, because there were so many books to finish. This book was a rare and special treat having separate narrators for the separate accents was an amazing gift and led to a lot of wonderful conversations and really lent the story a real sense of reality and Power. this is one of the most Charming books I've ever read
