Fun 2nd book in kids series -- Great narration

This is the second installment in the 'Wierdbey Island' series by Eldritch Black. It's a kids series with paranormal elements. I enjoyed the story in the first book better, but I'm coming to love the main protagonist and his three chums. I'm interested to see where the next adventure will take them. I was previewing this for my 7 year-old nephew. I think the series is a little advanced for him yet, but I'll hold onto it for him and share it when he's a couple of years older.

The narrator, J. Scott Bennett did a wonderful job throughout the book. He was able to use unique voices for the many characters, even a dreaded Jackalope!

Thanks to the author and narrator for a free copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest review.

Another great story about Weirdbey Island

Love the story and the characters. There are some references to book one, but it is not necessary to listen to the first book to enjoy this one. However, we really enjoyed both books one and two.
The narration is excellent. We enjoy this narrator alot.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

More fun to be had on Weirdbey Island

This was a great follow up to The Pirates of Penn Cove. And once again, I really appreciated that it is a stand alone. It might help to have read The Pirates of Penn Cove, but I think one could start with this book and still follow along and enjoy it just fine.

The Day of the Jackalope seemed a bit more geared towards kids to me than the first one did, but even as a full grown adult I had a lot of fun experiencing it. Some nice themes about being yourself, and more importantly, the power of believing in yourself.

Scott Bennett, as usual, did a fabulous job with all the voices. While I missed the pirate accent from book one, there was a still a lot of great character voices to hear in this one.

I'm looking forward to hearing more from both Eldritch Black and Scott Bennett and the adventures of the Weirdbey Island gang!

looking forward to more

Enjoy the style of the story... I think it lived up to the first book. There was a moment or two I zoned out but for the most part it held my attention. Dylan and Joseph faced their fears.... I wouldn't mind reading more of this series.... see the kids grow in their new secret society....

Think hardy boys meets sandlot meets supernatural

This is book two in the series can be read stand alone but will be better enjoyed having read the first one. So you have a small group of kids who have formed themselves into a club to hunt down the supernatural myths and legends Of their area. Perhaps though they have bit off more than they can choose in their quest for knowledge that is perhaps best lost. Enjoy this thrilling adventure and like me eagerly await the next of their adventures...fans of scooby doo will enjoy this without a doubt (even though there is no taking dog).
