Such a sweet story of 4 little heroes!

Would you listen to The Mystery on Lighthouse Island again? Why?

The Mystery of Lighthouse Island is a sweet story of 4 little friends--Lucy, Ann, Stan, and Julian, who have adventures on an island in summer of 64 because their home is being renovated after a tree fell on it.

What did you like best about this story?

This is such a sweet and positive story and it's made even special because it is set in the 60's and therefore before our age of screens. The story made me whimsical for my days as a young child in the 70's. I didn't have as many adventures, but memories made me visualize this story nicely.

What about Cleandra Martin-Waldron and Punch Audio ’s performance did you like?

Both have sweet sing-song voices that lended perfectly to this story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

This story would be such a fun kid's movie! I would call it--The many adventures of the fabulous 4.

Any additional comments?

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

The Fabulous Four know how to enjoy themselves

Would you consider the audio edition of The Mystery on Lighthouse Island to be better than the print version?

I have read and enjoyed the paperback version, and I really love the audio version, as well. I feel both editions have a lot to offer children. In an ideal world, they would have both! .

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Mystery on Lighthouse Island?

I liked the way the Fabulous Four worked together! I really enjoyed reading about how they made the discovery and went about their business. The plot was very believable and I liked the children's enthusiastic discussions with Inspector Watson and Lady Glendevon.
This story offers some lovely moments of humour - and the storytelling about the wildlife on the island, was great too!

What about Cleandra Martin-Waldron and Punch Audio ’s performance did you like?

Cleandra's performance was very good and extremely precise. There are a lot of different characters in this story, and Cleandra met that challenge perfectly. (Oh! - by the way - she certainly knows how to make an owl noise) Great job.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

This would have to be the moment when Lucy found Anne distressed and feeling upset in the castle. Lucy was so caring and very considerate with her younger sister. Those were very special moments and made me feel quite emotional.

Any additional comments?

I can't wait for Book 2 of this children's mystery series. I'm sure it will be entertaining!

The Fabulous Four are truly fabulous and great fun

What did you like most about The Mystery on Lighthouse Island?

I found the story to be upbeat and truly engaging. I wish I could have had adventures like this when I was a child!

Who was your favorite character and why?

That's a tough question because they are all interesting characters. However, I would choose Anne, because she is so sweet, charming, and extremely bubbly. She's very friendly, and would make a trustworthy and great friend!

What about Cleandra Martin-Waldron and Punch Audio ’s performance did you like?

The narrator did an excellent job. She's very precise and really brings the adventure to life.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Gosh, that's a hard question. Maybe I would emphasise the secret of the Fabulous Four's success... "It's amazing what you can achieve by working together as a team - extremely entertaining and inspiring!"

Any additional comments?

I'm really hoping that book 2 in this series: 'The Mystery of the Bucket and Spade', will be available on audible - and soon!
