Summary: Welcome to Odyssey!
Comment: My Grandma bought me this C.D for my 14th birthday. I didn't think much of it because I thought it was more for kids and not really teenagers. Boy was I wrong! This C.D is absolutley fantastic! I am 14 and I enjoy every episode. If you have never heard or want to start with the "Adventures in Odyssey" series, this would probably be the best introduction, since this Album has the earliest episodes in the series, including "Connie Comes to Town" The episode where Connie first comes to Odyssey. This Album is also great if you are going to go on a long boring trip, since each episode is about 25 minutes. I recommend this C.D to anyone who wants a C.D with great stories and lessons that don't stress the moral too much. This Album is great, and I hope you guys can find out for yourself!
