"Orville Mouse and the Puzzle of the Clockwork Glowbirds, book 1, is one of those rare finds! Orville Wellington Mouse, Sophia, and Proto are delightful creatures that will capture the hearts of their listeners while solving a mystery, saving their world, exploring new worlds and coming face to face with deadly and scary skin eating centipedes! This is a fantastic adventure that everyone should experience!

The character development is detailed and solid. Orville comes across as either younger than a “tween” or perhaps extremely protected as he has to have a lot more direction than anyone else, including Proto. Tom Hoffman delivers a delightful tale of morals and ethics that children of all ages should be able to understand. Although I have doubts that teenagers would read it (they like very little), everyone else regardless of age could enjoy it. 

The plot moves smoothly forward; everything flows. The dialog while repetitious at times it is not overly so. The dialog reminded me of things young adults would say. 

I listened to this audiobook as I was driving to a meeting that was several hours away. I found it relaxing and interesting at the same time. A great traveling book!

The narrator, Jason Zenobia performed the book with the proper flair and excitement, his performance was top notch! I enjoyed his different voices for the characters and his ability to project the personality of the characters vividly in his tones.

There were no issues with quality or production of this audiobook." (Charla White)
