THE GREEN BICYCLE

by | Read by Ariana Delawari

Children Ages 10+ • 8.75 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2015

Al Mansour based this audiobook on her inspiring film, WADJDA. Sadly, the story loses something in its transformation into print and audio. Without the imagery of the movie, the author's meticulous attention to detail as she describes the culture of Saudi Arabia is hindered by clunky writing and an uninspired delivery. Ariana Delawari does an acceptable job of giving voice to Wadjda and the other characters. But her monotone delivery of the narrative does not engage. Listeners who stick with the story will admire Wadjda's spunk and tenacity. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2015]
