Narration on sound recording almost as bad as the writing.
I think if I had read this book instead of listening to it, the children would not as come off as petulant little brats. The narrator was over the top, making Sara so very saintly and Mack as nasty as Snidely Whiplash. The only interesting characters were the Corcorans. The plot was flimsy and as many reviewers pointed out there were many holes and unanswered questions. For instance: Do not the authors know that there are more than one airports in New York? So if one is shut down for security reasons, Sara and Ruben could have flown out of another one, or flown out of DC?To those who did not finish the book, you did not miss much. The last part was mostly filler consisting of preaching. It was like they had to meet their word limit and just didn't want to make the effort to wrap up loose ends, like what happened to Mack.This is the first Judith Michael book I've read and I don't think I'll take a chance on another one.
