From AudioFile

Joshua has just heard the worst news of his entire life: He will have to repeat third grade. How will he ever face his friends as they move on and he stays behind? Susan Shreve has written a sensitive story that captures the essence of 9-year-old Joshua in his most painful moments. Complete in a single tape, the story is performed with a perfect blend of tenderness and wry humor. With no enhancements other than his own skill and youthful voice, Heller brings to life a tale that is ideal for the whole family. B.L.W. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
