I always welcome a good murder mystery. You throw in magic and a ghost and it's even better! Darcy reminds me of Jessica Fletcher from Murder, She Wrote. If Jessica Fletcher had magical powers and worked at a pot dispensary. It's a lot of fun. Adding to it all is the narration by Bonniejean Boettcher, which is great. She really captures the fun tone of S.E. Biglow's writing. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series!

As an adult, I had a really fun time reading this. I've read all three in the series so far and this one's my favorite. I'm a sucker for space aliens and this book scratched that itch. There were surprisingly high stakes in this story that I did not expect from a book written for a younger audience, which is always welcome. The audio performance was spot on, I particularly liked the pronunciations of the space alien names and the voice Leo (all of them!). Recommended.

I feel like this book is longer than its 4 hours. In a good way! There's a lot of emotion, whether it's hints of sadness or a nice big handful of hope, that the author manages to fit into the story. You really feel for Bird and the inhabitants of the nursing home. And not to mention Pearl the Elephant, whose story rivals Bird's. For fiction, the idea of a child growing up in a nursing home, witnessing first hand the effects of old age, is a such great concept. I really liked how Bird and Pearl's narratives intertwined with each other. The story's helped along by the great narration. The narrator gives Bird and Pearl their own distinct personalities, which is impressive considering one of them is an elephant. A great story for young and not-so-young.

“Thelma Bee in Toil and Treble” is ostensibly a children's/young adult book, but as a 45 year old, I loved it. I believe that says more about the book then it does me, as it's a super fun read from beginning to end. There's a great interplay between science and the supernatural, with the character of Thelma Bee at the center encompassing both sides. All of the characters in the book have a unique personality and each of them have their own role in the larger plot, something not all writers can pull off and Petti does a wonderful job here.

With an audiobook, of course, a good book needs a good narrator and Thelma Bee has a great narrator.
It doesn't take long to fall within the spell of Thelma Bee's world thanks to Bonniejean Boettcher's narration. Boettcher handles a large cast of characters deftly, with each character popping from the page thanks to Petti's writing and Boettcher's ability to give each character their own distinct, fun voice. It's a great performance all around.

I have enjoyed both books in the series so far and I'm excited to see where else Thelma Bee will go!
