Dave Reed has written a really great story for kids intended for ages 2-10 most likely but as an adult I really enjoyed it too. He weaves humor and adventure into this tale that makes me less inclined to build a Time Machine (goodbye weekend plans). Bonniejean Boettcher’s performance of the book breathes life into each character. She carefully balances the story’s events with a natural pacing that really draws in the listener. Great for a bedtime story or long drive - absolutely recommend this audiobook!!!

I just had the pleasure of listening to this incredible audiobook, the result of a fantastic collaboration between writer Erin Petti and performer Bonniejean Boettcher.

Petti has written a carefully crafted story that I can see being appealing to the intended YA audience but has also strongly resonated with this adult. Petti generally leaves me with the notion that she's not telling a story, but rather is opening a door to the lives of a group of people who have real love, pain and friendships. Petti's loving attention to detail comes across in every page, and it's contagious. I find myself wanting to learn a lot more about this universe, so I hope we see more soon!

Breathing life into each of these voices is Bonniejean Boettcher, who eases the listener into the story with a warm, engaging narration. Boettcher deftly picks up queues left by Petti's writing to gift the narrator with her own character as she sharply portrays Thelma, Alexander, Izzie in clear, distinct voices all their own. I particularly enjoy Boettcher's subtle shifts in pacing to match Petti's writing, highlighted with an emotional range I haven't heard in audiobooks in a long while.

It's clear to me that both Petti and Boettcher are speaking each other's language, and it's a rarity to see to talents like this so firmly in sync. I would love to see them collaborate again soon!
