I just found it on Archive.org. I had to do an advanced search. It seems to be read by a robot on audio. Since it's there, can it be read here?
It depends. Please share the link so we can take a look.

We think this edition is okay, since it's a straight reprint. It even has the same typesetting as the original.
(VERY long book!)
School fiction: David Blaize

No, it doesn't get added until after it has been recorded and proof listened. You would need to launch it as a solo project. However, you should complete your one-minute test first. It's basically a sound and tech check to make sure your software and equipment is all working. Then, once your test gets the ok, we strongly recommend participating in at least one group project so that you can get the first hurdles out of the way with a supportive group around you. Reading a whole book on your own can be very lonely, and it's best to get some practice under your belt before you start out solo.

Here are some links with instructions for your next steps (in order!):

Not only that, but that book is HUUUUUGE. It is not a good first solo project. :shock:

Thank you, I will be doing the 1 minute test soon and I will definitely do group projects and proof listening before i undertake a project like this one. Yes it is huge and it won't be something I do now. :)
