SNOOP

The excitable voice of Matt Godfrey will resonate with young listeners as he recounts the hilarious shenanigans of a quirky preteen named Carter. After a ski collision with his brother lands him in a wheelchair for several weeks, he becomes obsessed with spying on the day-to-day activities of the people in his town. He borrows his mother's drone to snoop on classmates and hacks into private and city cameras, inadvertently discovering a crime ring that trades in endangered animals at the town's abandoned courthouse. Godfrey's lively inflections capture Carter's enthusiasm for spying. When the smugglers find out Carter knows what's going on and learn his address, Godfrey's ability to keep the listener on the edge of their seat is sheer perfection.
