Cute children's tale

I thought I recalled The Bobbsey Twins as sleuths. This was a pleasant surprise :)

pretty good


(4.5 stars)

I prefer when one reader does the whole book instead of different people reading different chapters. Other than that the book was great, though I do wish that when ever anything bad and mysterious happen it wasn't always Danny Rugs fault but I still love the story Bobbsey twins and there friends🙂


(4 stars)

Great book!!!! Ted Nugent good reader hard to understand but otherwise everyone else is pretty easy to understand! I do prefer that there is only one reader for the whole book. 😀😀
