Still worth it.. barely

I loved this series when I was younger, but every book in it suffers greatly from being abridged - so much of the appeal of this series lies in the small, non-essential details within the plot, and almost all of that is cut out. It's just the big action scenes and plot devices left, and though I srill think the series is worth listening to, it could have been so much better if the books were left unedited in their transfer to audio.

enjoyed it again.

this is the third time I have listened to this story. I have read the book as well.

One of my favorites

Nice work :) it was really well written and fun to listen to and read

I wish they weren't abridged

I like the stories...I just wished they were longer for character development. it's to short

Love Max

The saga continues with Max and the flock dealing with more environmental issues. Entertaining and fun.
