THE GIRL WHO COULD NOT DREAM

A fun story and a great narrator make a perfect combination. Durst's madcap adventure showcases Soneela Nankani's formidable talents. Sophie's parents run a bookshop, which has a secret shop in the basement where they collect and sell people's dreams. Nankani creates a gruff voice for Sophie's only friend, a many-tentacled, soft-furred creature called Monster whom she rescued from a nightmare. He protects Sophie with a fierce loyalty. When her parents go missing, along with their dream-distilling machine, Sophie and Monster recruit help from a flying pony, a host of ninja bunnies, and others to find them. This is such a delightful audio experience that listeners won't want it to end. M.F.T. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2016]
