Story
Cameron Boxer is very happy to spend his life avoiding homework, hanging out with his friends, and gaming for hours in his basement. It's not too hard for him to get away with it...until he gets so caught up in one game that he almost lets his house burn down around him. Oops. It's time for some serious damage control - so Cameron and his friends invent a fake school club that will make it seem like they're doing good deeds instead of slacking off. The problem? Some kids think the club is real.

Story
Teens and pre-teens flock to any new offering from New York Times best-selling author Gordon Korman. Told through multiple viewpoints, Ungifted follows Donovan Curtis through his year at a magnet school for gifted and talented kids. Thanks to an administrative foul-up, the decidedly mediocre student Donovan finds himself enrolled in the Academy of Scholastic Distinction. Out of place and out of luck, Donovan joins the robotics team. And while he learns a few lessons from his gifted classmates, he also teaches a few of his own.

Story
Zero is just one of 20,000 people aboard a spaceship bound for a new planet set to be colonized. The journey is over a century long but luckily, everyone is in stasis, so they’ll be safe and sound asleep during the trip. Everyone that is, except for Zero, whose pod has malfunctioned, waking him up a hundred years early. His initial excitement in roaming the ship alone quickly turns to a heart-stopping interstellar adventure when a family of space pirates show up, trying to hijack the ship and take the colonizers hostage.

Publisher's Summary
Exclusively on Audible, an original from D. J. MacHale, New York Times best-selling author of the Pendragon series, for ages 8 and up.
Eleven-year-old Sam Calico is an excellent storyteller, inventing wild escapades, but has never had the courage to have a real adventure of his own. That is until one day when a mysterious invitation arrives along with a mechanical dog, inviting him to the Equinox Curiosity Shop - which happens to be in an abandoned building.
Despite his fears, Sam follows the instructions and boards a train to the magical Equinox Valley, where he discovers that the Nexus, which holds the world in equilibrium, is under attack. With the help of some magical toys, Sam has only 24 hours to stop the evil Khord and her twin monkeys, Castor and Pollux, from destroying Equinox Valley and his home outside along with it.
D. J. MacHale is the creator of Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark? and The Outerbounds, coming soon from Amazon Studios.

Entertaining fantasy book
As an adult listening to this children's novel, I was really impressed how exciting the story felt. Granted, I love children's stories so this is a pretty norm genre for me to love but the narrator had great voice acting moments and it all worked seamlessly together. There was one jarring soundscape when alarms sounded but that let me believe the urgency in the plot. Enjoyable writing style and story overall! Sam was a very likeable main character.

Excruciating
I've read a lot of children's books, but this is the first one where I hate the story, hate the villain, and hate most of all - by quite a lot - the unbelievably bad "hero". Inept at everything, literally no redeeming features, successful only by accident or when other beings swoop in to save him - which is constantly - our protagonist, Sam, is not brave (at all, AT ALL), not clever, not smart, not athletic, not talented at anything (I mean literally nothing).
The good guys are syrupy good and when they win in in the end, the final scene is so full of saccharin, so appallingly cute, it made me want to throw up. And I really did want to throw up: I have never had that cliched reaction to a book before.
The world is ABSURD: Sam travels to a pristine magical valley which houses the Nexus which must be guarded by someone or the entire Earth dies. This is a machine that no one knows where it came from, guarded by two old men and their toys. Earth DIES if these toymakers fail to protect it from a not-terribly-bright girl and her evil toys.
Which brings me to the villain. She is a smarmy girl who is the only mildly interesting character but she, too, drops into stupidity once she declares the thick-as-wood, idiot, cowardly hero "smarter than I expected" when he susses out the weakness in her comically stupid plan that every listener got as soon as it was introduced at the beginning of the book.
This was agonizing to sit through. But I do want to call out the narrator who does a great job made even more remarkable by what he was forced to read.
Give this a pass. The writing is not bad for a gifted 13-year-old boy with confidence issues but terrible from an adult..
