Excellent for any age!

I was a little baffled in the beginning because it started out in Neverland, and then switched to classic middle school angst in present day. Then it got REALLY interesting! The imagination and spin on old favorites is riveting. Can't believe that this sat on my TBR pile for so long. Well, I've got some grandkids in mind who will love this as much as I do, and I hope to read the next one before they come to visit.
John Pirhalla gives a great performance as narrator and has just the right voice, too.

Awesome!

Enjoyable for all ages. Narrator does an awesome job. Excited to see where this series goes.
