I received a free review copy of this audiobook. It's a decent adventure story, suitable for kids. Personally, I found the ending to be kind of a bummer.

A truly lovely story told in a delightful and lyrical style. This is the story of twins who end up magically (and accidentally) getting each other's birthday wishes. What follows shares the valuable lesson that people who are very different can still love and understand each other.

I've heard that the illustrations are beautiful but (as I listened to the audio version) I can't comment on that. However, I think the audio helped me appreciate the writing style even more!

In this MG fantasy, Josh starts off living a pretty ordinary life in Louisiana. Fishing. Cicadas. Days with his cat. I loved the vivid descriptions. You can really taste the swamp air, see cat hair tangled in fishing line, and picture the charred pancakes in the kitchen. Ah, sisters. I really liked the portrayal of dyslexia, and some of the real stressors a boy Josh’s age might go through, like having a firefighter father burned as an arsonist plagues the area. Josh suddenly finds he has strange powers and uses them to help his friends and himself. This results in some crazy stuff like Civil War soldiers, and dragons! It also leads to some comical scenarios. Author Bruce Arrington had some really funny passages, and moments of hilarious dry, wit. This lighthearted read was fun. There were just a few scenes where I wondered if paring back might have made for even tighter pacing, however, this was a small quibble and readers who enjoy humor will appreciate this fine tale!

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.

This is an exceptional audio book. The narration is great, and the story moves well to a gripping end. At just over one hour, it's a perfect book to hear while walking or gardening. I would like to read more by this author, and listen to more by this narrator.
