MILLIONS

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Simon Jones

Children Ages 10+ • 4.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2004

The patron saint of audiobooks must surely have been watching over this production. It’s got colorful, carefully crafted characters, a cinematic story--a British youth, obsessed with saints, finds a cash bonanza--and a dazzling read by Simon Jones. Boyce’s story operates as a clever mystery, a parable about greed, a lesson in recovery from loss, and an example, like HUCKLEBERRY FINN, of a book about children that works for all ages. Narrator Jones’s strongest gift isn’t his array of British accents (which he does effortlessly) or his timing (which is impeccable); it is his empathy--an uncanny ability to put the listener inside the mind of a spiritually conflicted child. If you’re wondering what separates the good from the great in audiobook narration--check out this Golden Voice. R.W.S.
