AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

Fun, amazing story directed at ages 8-11 though older kids may find it fun to. Billy Ashcroft may not be the same narrater who reads books 1 & 2, and may take some getting use to but he is just as good.

THE SECOND BEST BOOKM I’VE READ IN AGES

This is a really good book if you have read the first one and I’m exited to read the next one.

I would recommend it to anyone over the age of about nine
But it is definitely up my top favourite books I’ve read

Couldn't get through it

The change in narrator totally ruined the series. Every time the narrator pronounced says instead of sez, my eyes rolled. The transitions between chapters was awful as well. Get the print edition if you want to know the end of the story. This is just a waste of your money / credit.

What happened to the narrator!?

Great story. Poor narration.

The first two book were narrated well (minus croaky’s voice), this book is narrated so poorly. It’s lacklustre and boring; the chapter numbers are read out at the end of each chapter- without a pause. This ruins any sense of suspense.
