POISONED

This elegant performance by Rosie Jones is a reimagined story of Snow White. Princess Sophia's heart has been cut out and stolen by the queen's huntsman, and with the help of seven allies, she's on a quest to get it back. Jones's enchanting voice is perfect for this fantasy, and she maintains an intense level of suspense throughout Sophia's journey. Her regal narration fits Sophia's growth from timid princess to a strong, independent individual. Listeners will also discover their own favorite characters in the supporting cast, each with a unique personality. While arguably not as strong as her previous work STEPSISTER, this fairy-tale remake by Jennifer Donnelly will be a new hit.
