“This clever fantasy…is creative, funny, and refreshingly unambiguous…Drane is brought engagingly to life by Oliver Wyman. He keeps the story moving at a brisk pace and does a superb job crafting distinctive vocal personalities for the cast of international characters. His energetic portrayals of teenagers reflect all the outrage and vehemence of adolescents whof ully comprehend the dire straits the world is in. This performance is great for family listening—a witty plot with lots of amusing puns is delivered with style and panache.”

Quotes
-
“Continues to develop a truly ingenious setting while proving every bit as much of a nail-biter as the first.”
— Booklist -
“Hilarious wordplay…idiomatic expressions, puns, and figures of speech propel the plot along at a manic pace as Becker falls in love, tries to follow the Rules, and narrowly escapes annihilation. A delightful cast of noble and nefarious characters adds to the fun.”
— School Library Journal -
“Becker is a likable protagonist who manages to keep his sense of humor in the darkest of times, which keeps the plot line from becoming too intense…Does not disappoint, and [The Split Second] will charm action-adventure, fantasy, and mystery lovers alike.”
