HOOK 'EM, SNOTTY!

This suspenseful story from the Gary Paulsen World of Adventure series uphold Paulsen's high standards of page-turning excitement and memorable characters. Country cousin Bobbie must not only learn to tolerate her city cousin, Alex, but also to work with her on their grandfather's ranch. Reader Jeff Woodman easily handles both genders and all ages. A slight shift in voice renders characters feminine, but not weak and wispy. Woodman is a natural to relate adventure tales due to his talent with characterization and well-paced pauses that build suspense. J.H.B. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT 97]
