Wallace’s Lists Audiobook

" This book teaches you to let go of your normal routine and something great will happen. Wallace went by the books on everything he did. If it wasn't on his list he didn't do it. I think that this would be a terrible way to live your life. This would be a great book for any elementary grade. "

He loves adventures and does whatever he wants whenever he wants to. Throughout the story, Wallace becomes more and more adventurous and even shows Albert a good time. In the end, Wallace still made lists, but his favorite list was his one that had Albert on it; his best friend list.
