My Thoughts:

Audio:
I liked Mark. He made it a lot easier to get through. 


Book:
The book was cute enough but the sister got on my nerves bullying her brothers. Maybe, to a degree, I understand, she is the only girl of the kids so she has to be a bit tougher but I still didn't like how she treated them. Her brothers seemed to love her but scared of her too. I wasn't all that fond of the mom either. She only seemed to show up to fuss. Didn't seem to spend any time with them. It took me a couple days to read it because I am also reading another book and would put this one down to listen to that one, as it is much longer and need to try to finish it soon. 

I have the other books in the series. Hopefully I will get to the books soon. I found the audio books for them and that will help me to get through them faster. I am a slow reader so any help I can get is great. You'd think after reading this long, I'd be a faster reader. Nope! lol...Middle grade isn't my favorite but I do find myself being interested in more of them than I used to be. I tried to watch the Spiderwick movie(s) but I wasn't fond of the movie(s). Of course, I'm not as much of a movie watcher as I used to be.
