The Wishing Stone, Book 1: Dangerous Dinosaur

By: Lorana Hoopes

Narrated by: Mark Wimmer

What if you could become a character in your favorite stories?

Spenser was just an ordinary boy who enjoyed video games more than reading until he was approached by a mysterious cowboy who gave him a small, white stone. Just touching the stone sent shivers up Spenser’s arm, and suddenly he wanted to try it out.

That evening when Spenser read his book and held the stone, he found himself transported into the village of Arco, a boy from long ago who was trying to save his people from a ferocious dinosaur. Spenser and Arco team up to discover a secret about the dinosaur.

Will they succeed in their quest? How will Spenser get home?

A BOYS DREAM

Fantastic story that any boy would love. And told so well by the narrator. RECOMMENDED

Gives Me Magic Tree House Vibes!

As a child, there were few things I loved more than sitting down and reading The Magic Tree House. The Wishing Stone gave me those same happy feelings as an adult.

I loved that this book started off with a trip to the library. I remeber that feeling of getting my first library card. This story takes off into an epic story involing dinosaurs. It was fast paced and had lots of unforgetable characters. I loved how science is woven throughout the book as well.

Mark Wimmer did a nice job as the voice of Spenser.

I received a copy of this book at my request, and I have voluntarily left this review.

Great children’s story

My 9 year old grandson totally enjoyed listening to this story — not once but three times so far. Can’t wait for him to hear the next one

The Wishing Stone book 1

I really liked the narrator but audio quality wasn't 100% perfect, it sounded better on my phone than on the computer. The story was very entertaining for my 4 year old grandson. He will listen to this one multiple times and I don't mind listening to it with him. We will be trying the next book in the series.

audio to enjoy with the whole family

Adventure, imagination, time travel will captivate your family. Great for next car ride or bedtime
