Reviews

[Jennifer Booth · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just needs more action

For an early attempt in children's lit, it was not bad. It could be spiced up with a little more action than boardroom talk.

[Mark Rabideau · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story-line of this novel is not as well constructed and interesting as others in the series. Having said that the narrator provided by Librivox (Brian Keenan) is excellent.
