I would have loved an entire book about the life and struggles of Nick Fleming struggling to come to terms with modern technology and arguing with the small automatic voiced travel guide trapped in the automobile.

Didn't get into this fantasy world; the characters weren't ones I really rooted for, and I won't read any more in the series. But I can see that it might appeal to younger readers looking for adventure/fantasy.

I think upper elementary and middle school boys would enjoy it.
Interesting premise, but not enough to get me to keep reading. The teenage characters seemed a little one dimensional and written by an adult...who doesn't know any teenagers

This book is so millennial coded, I’m surprised it’s not more popular.
I’m intrigued by the start so far, but not sure if I want to continue with the series… I might give it one more book to convince me
