If you could sum up Joey and the Magic Map in three words, what would they be?

Thoughtful, Funny ,Exciting

What other book might you compare Joey and the Magic Map to and why?

Joey and the Magic Map is different from the current popular books for sixth graders. This is why I find it so refreshing to read. I really can't compare it to another book. Joey and the Magic Map is about a boy, however it is about a boy and his family. The boy has his adventures like other books have, however, Joey's adventures are different. You just need to read this book to find out for yourself.

What does Cory B. Anderson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Cory uses his voice to play the part of each character. I love that part of his narration. Listening to an audio book, gives the students or the reader a different experience than reading it themselves.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Although the book was written with great and wonderful description where I could literally visualize in my mind what the characters looked liked as well as the setting, I think the book started to be a real page turner when Joey used the map to go on his adventures. My students didn't want to put the book down when we got to that part.

Any additional comments?

I am a sixth grade school teacher and I have read Joey and the Magic Map for the past two years with my class. My students love the book and continue to talk about it long after we have finished it. There are a lot of teaching opportunities in the book where I can have meaningful discussions with my class. The narrator, Cory Anderson does an excellent job narrating this book. I would highly recommend this book! It has such a wonderful good feeling ending! It is definitely worth the read!
