“Narrator Amanda Leigh Cobb nimbly voices a full cast of larger-than-life characters in this exciting story of summer camp and friendship to the max…Cobb excels at creating distinctive voices for all five members of Roanoke Cabin, and even during long dialogue sequences the listener can tell who’s talking. The secondary characters, including exasperated counselor Jen and brash camp director Rosie, are also perfectly pitched. Cobb’s delivery of narrative is particularly excellent, combining deadpan dry wit and a bubbly cartoon style that mimics the graphic novel origins of the Lumberjanes series. Listening to this production is a treat. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
