I got this album on my 11th birthday and I enjoyed it very much. One of the three places to start (The other two are Family Portraits and Discovering Odyssey) My favorite episode is Gifts for Madge and Guy, because it's sooooooo funny! The only thing I don't like about this album is that most of the episodes weren't labeled Odyssey USA. The first 22 dramas had the label. They released an album of that name.

Anyway, it's a very good album.

This is the perfect album to start with. (Other than The Adventure Begins and Discovering Odyssey) I like this album a lot. It was the first album in the Odyssey series. This is a non-canonical album, and there are some things that don't count in the album. (see Whit's Visitor) That's cool trivia. My favorite episode is The Letter, because it's so emotional. I liked the bonus track, and I heard about some things I never heard of before. Most of the lessons are for parents, like divorce and wife-husband evangelism. But some are for kids, like having a good reputation, and that there's no such thing as a stupid question. This is only available for download, so don't count on going to the local store to get it. I found some issues with the download, but I solved them and it's fine. Good album. I recommend this to first timers.
