Narrator Spencer breathes life into this mysterious tale. Her reading is straightforward but effective, her tone soft, and her pacing perfect. Spencer ably captures the essence of the characters, lending them suitable voices. Listeners—particularly fans of the genre—will find this a fun and rousing audiobook. Ages 12–up. A Delacorte hardcover. (Oct.)
