Description
Nile Bullock captures the goofy energy of Justin A. Reynolds’s hilarious middle-grade audiobook. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss the charming Eddie, a 12-year-old who tells listeners all about his perfect plan to escape his chores this summer—and how it goes horribly wrong. Listeners will be laughing as he describes the horrors of laundry (and basements), the sadness of being left behind as everyone else goes to the big Beach Bash (or so he thinks), and the alarm he feels at the power going out (leaving him with nothing to wear but swim trunks). Eddie speaks directly to listeners, and Bullock narrates with a fast, bouncy pace, happily taking listeners down Eddie’s many meandering tangents, and off on an adventure around the neighborhood. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website. Published by Scholastic Audiobooks.
