review 1: It has taken me longer to review this book than I had planned. Why, you ask…because I couldn't wrestle it away from my children long enough to actually read it! Strike of the Sweepers is the fourth book in Tyler Whitesides' Janitors series. I have to say that Whitesides has an...

review 1: An audiobook narrated by the author? Tyler Whitesides can not only write, but he has more than one voice! Mr. Garcia with rolling “r’s” and the middle school bully Dez are just two of the characters portrayed in Janitors #4. My children adore this series. We listened to it to an...
