Narrator terrible
What disappointed you about Mystery Ranch?
My children and I listened to the first three books in the series and loved them. We made it through ten minutes of book 4 with the new narrator, after two I was thinking "ugh I can't stand this narrator but I will not say anything." By eight minutes my kids were begging me to turn it off. They said the narrator sounded like a cartoon and they didn't want to listen anymore. Unfortunately I agreed with them. We will see if other books go back to the old narrator or a different one, otherwise unfortunately we are done with this series.

Eh,,,,
Who was your favorite character and why?
Benny, he is always getting into trouble and saying funny things.
What does Aimee Lilly bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I prefer the narriator from the first books.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no
Any additional comments?
My son loves the box car children books. He really loved the first collection but was disapointed that the narriator had been changed for the additional books... he cant seem to get into them with the new voices.

Awful Narration!
The first 3 books are narrated by someone else, and does a great job. This one is so different. My kids and I couldn't stand it. So glad that the next book has a different narrator. The voices this one does for the kids are ridiculous!

What I loved about this book.
I rated overall four stars because it was nice and funny but it was kind of old fashioned. I rated performance three because the person who read it had feeling to the story but the the accents sounded kind of silly.
