Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Michael Boatman’s narration is nothing short of stellar in 'What? You Think You Got It Rough?' His voice perfectly captures the spirit of each character, bringing Curtis’ vivid storytelling to life. The audiobook covers a wide array of topics that resonate with pre-teens, from academic pressures to dealing with bullies, providing an insightful look into their world. However, there are moments where the humor feels slightly forced, which might not appeal to all listeners. Overall, this audiobook is a valuable addition for any pre-teen library and a strong recommendation for those seeking a thoughtful, well-narrated audiobook that offers more than just entertainment.
