ROOSEVELT BANKS AND THE ATTIC OF DOOM

Narrator Martie Miles inhabits this adventure of 10-year-old Roosevelt Banks; his dog, Millard Fillmore; and his family and friends. Listeners meet Roosevelt, whose plans for the "summer of Dad" end with a baby on the way and an attic renovation. Miles enthusiastically delivers the high pitch of Roosevelt's voice when he gets nervous and portrays his loyal buddies, sweet little sister, and loving parents. Impressive sound effects, such as a snoring dog and ghostly sounds, add to the fun. When Roosevelt learns the attic will be his domain, he worries that its ghosts will ruin his life. His laugh-out-loud antics, such as scaring the ghosts with rotten eggs and "old lady" opera music, are relatable. Miles portrays the family dynamics believably.
