Wasted Wood

By: Brock Eastman

Narrated by: Brandon Ruiter

"This is not the way home. This is never the way home!"

Folklore of a tree troll has always been whispered about in Misty Peaks. But now Hudson must decide if he believes it or not. Should he take the shortcut through Wasted Wood, or should he go around and guarantee he'll be grounded.

Kept My Daughter and I Engaged Till The End

What made the experience of listening to Wasted Wood the most enjoyable?

My daughter and I listened to this book on the way to a hockey tournament. We listened to it all in one shot. We were engaged throughout the entire story, often hanging on the edge of our seats to hear what would come next.

We both loved the book. Brock Eastman has a gift at writing action packed stories without being repetitive.

a great book!

This was a great book! It hard to stop, I loved how he portrayed the characters they were so real to me , and I like how he shows that disobedience has consequences. But I was quite disappointed when it ended.

Excellent! Can't Wait for the Next One

The AWESOME description paints a vivid picture in your mind! Also a hint of humor here and there that makes you chuckle a bit. The story has a great life lesson to live by! Like all of his other books that I've read I honestly don't think Brock Eastman could've written this book any better than he has! I loved it!!!
