A fun, clean wilderness story

I thought this was a delightful story of survival. It is completely clean for your kids and it covers some good principals of survival.

Originally I gave it an overall 4 star rating because of the virtual voice. A virtual voice doesn't understand the story and consequently cannot give emphasis where needed, but this is a children’s story and the voice is not as important so I am ignoring it in the overall rating. The story makes up for it and I appreciate that it is clean.

Wonderful adventurous short story

I enjoyed this adventurous, suspenseful short story with a touch of romance. The story was interestering and the charactors likeable . Fun read.

Virtual voice not so great

Virtual voice not so great and I wish they would have told me that more prominently before I chose to download.
