I thought this was trite and predictable. Unfortunately, not a realistic experience of a kid living with a disability and going to school. Cute, sweet, heartwarming but pretty ableism centered.

I’m a HUGE Robin McKinley fan and have been for 35 years so I’d already read this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. When I got it for free here I thought perfect, this will be a fun listen.
The narrator killed it for me. This was not the voice I imagined the main character having at all. Such a bummer.

I can’t recommend this book enough. As an advocate, educator and parent of a disabled young adult, I was excited to read this after seeing Judy in Crip Camp on Netflix. But this book was beyond anything I imagined. Judy tells her story and Ali brings it to life beautifully with strength and grace. It it not just Judy’s story, but the story of our country’s history and the slow, sometimes painful civil rights work that is still sorely needed. Judy gives me hope, inspires me to keep being strong and pull no punches. She also manages to balance the infuriating stories of with profound, grounded stories of her relationships with people, her friends and parents. She reminds me that it’s not all fury and strength but also balance, perspective and relationships that make change happen.
I loved it and am so appreciative of all the hard won victories; yet am ready to continue the fight. Thanks Judy and Aly.

After a couple of years diving deep into dystopian/post apocalyptic and fantasy novels, I was looking for something lighter, nature-filled and thrilling for summer. This is fun and the characters well drawn. I specifically looked for a Nevada Barr type novel, but updated. This hit the spot. I thought I knew what was going on and was a little bit judgy about predictability, then there were twists and turns and twists: a lot of them right at the end. (Almost too many.) It’s darker than I predicted also — in a good way, The old lodge was deliciously creepy. (I usually find these mysteries too fluffy.) The main character is determined to rationalize and ignore red flags, and her conversations with her dad are annoying (“pumpkin”) but she’s still hard to kill, in a good way.
I liked learning about wolverines and appreciated the author’s descriptions of the mountains, trees and wildflowers so this was my jam. If you don’t like learning about wildlife conservation and getting an earful of it then this is not for you. It’s clear the author is passionate about it. The narrator was great and engaging. Looking forward to the next one in the series.

I enjoyed listening to this as I grew up in Alaska and it felt so familiar to listen to the voices and envision the scenes. The author and narrator was awesome. I hope to see more in this vein. I both laughed out loud and got chills multiple times. Great job Audible —and supremely masterful investigative journalism and storytelling, James. Thank you!
