THE CHAOS KING

Renée Raudman's distinct voices make this sequel to THE WALL and THE WING a joyful listen. Raudman creates a full complement of unique voices for the range of characters--from timid Georgie, the only girl who can become invisible, to Bug, the boy who can fly. The story leads Georgie and Bug on the trail of vampires and crazy artists whose magic has gone amuck. Listeners will giggle at animal impersonations, including those of Noodle, the slightly supernatural cat, and Pinkwater, the incredibly verbal budgie. While the production's sound quality could be crisper, Raudman's varied and suspenseful delivery leaves nothing to be desired. C.A. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 07]
