Wildfire Run by Dee Garretson
Did not finish book.
2.0
DNF - gave up at chapter 18. It was just too "young" for me, even to attempt to get through to see if my boys might like it. This is aimed at a younger audience. The story, the kid characters. As an adult I still often enjoy books for the younger set ... but not this one. Listening in audiobook format probably didn't help. The narrator, in voicing the three young kids, made them sound very young (as they are ... but Theo, very nasally, SO annoying). I totally understand that it is difficult to make voices sound distinct, but I hate when a narrator goes with a nasally option.
It really jumped around in the beginning, setting up the situation ... third person, with shifting POVs from many characters ... and animals (we know what the dog was thinking, the deer, the bear). Just seemed a little silly to me. The earthquake, the fire ... and then this was all happening to the President's son. Too much?
