“Gibson Frazier is the consummate narrator for a rousing story featuring twelve-year-old Dashiell (Dash) Gibson and his family…Frazier’s portrayals of Dash; Kira, his friend; and Violet, his sister, sound intelligent and appealing. Frazier’s rendering of ‘NASA’s Guide to Health and Safety’ is delivered with authority, and the voice of Zan, the female alien who projects herself into Dash’s mind, is also spot-on. Listeners will enjoy the story’s humor, vivid descriptions, and high adventure.”
