Twelve-year-old Trinitee Stokes plays Judy Cooper, a humanoid robot with attitude, on the Disney Channel series “K.C. Undercover.” In addition to her acting, Trinitee focuses on tween girls’ fashion, always doing the right thing, and living a smart and spiritual life. With this audiobook she takes on her first major writing project, and she narrates it, too. Trinitee is bright and bubbly, bringing an infectious level of joy to the narration that the listener can’t help but enjoy. While this audiobook is mainly for tween girls, adult listeners will enjoy her can-do attitude and desire to make her dreams happen. V.B. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
