Finn's world is turned upside down when he and his older brother, John, are ripped from their normal lives and sent to Alyxa, an island school that doesn't appear on any map. As the unusual lessons at Alyxa begin, the brothers learn about their super-senses, but nothing can prepare them for the perils to come.

To conquer their fears, they must master their senses....

Enjoyed it overall

Needs a better narrator and even sound but story was good. Nothing like HP but that's fine. Good world building.

So good!

My kids absolutely loved this series and I enjoyed listening to it with them. It had the right amount of danger, action and intrigue. Very good story.

Amazing Really!

I enjoyed every bit of this book, I loved the storyline and the narrating! It’s one of those books (for me) that I cannot put down, although this one is online. 10/10 definitely!!!!

Fine for a kids story.

The audio kept getting quieter then back to normal kinda like at the end of the fllep timer. Otherwise the story was good for younger kids and the performance was decent.

Reconstituted Harry Potter

It’s reads like a reconstituted HP story. Not impressed. No interest in following the series
