BLUE WINDOW

Old-school fantasy fans will be drawn into Gewirtz's complex story in which five siblings enter another world through a blue window that appears in their living room. Narrator Emily Sutton-Smith presents distinct, childlike voices for Max, Susan, Nell, Kate, and Jean as they describe, in turn, their quest to avoid the malevolent characters that seek to destroy them and find their way home. In addition, narrator Luke Daniels delivers short, mysterious interludes that slowly come together with the children's voyage. In a story reminiscent of Narnia, the children must rely on each other to overcome an evil-sounding antagonist called the Genius. E.J.F. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2018]
