A.N.T.I.D.O.T.E.

Disappointed that his mother is just a secretary, Elliot secretly wishes she were a secret agent or a spy. When he finds out she’s been arrested for corporate espionage, he’s left alone to figure out how to help. Roger Griffiths delivers a realistic rendition of the hapless hero, complete with his roller-coaster emotions and his foibles. As a believable adolescent, Griffiths hits the high notes in just the right places. Although a bit dated with technology references, this story has lots of action and a puzzle to solve, which adds to the fun. D.L.M. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 05]
