THE SANDS OF TIME

This second Hermux Tantamoq adventure starts when a strange chipmunk visits Hermux's shop, claiming to be a friend of Hermux's father and talking about a great mystery he has to solve. Campbell Scott's deadpan narration, combined with crisp enunciation, seems to fit a story about a watchmaker. His more lively and expressive interpretations of the dialogue particularly capture Hermux's range of emotions. Hermux and his love interest have almost the same voice, which makes it difficult to tell who is speaking in some of the scenes they share, but aside from this quibble, this audio has something for children, teens, and adults. An excellent choice for family listening. A.F. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB / MAR 03]
