ASTRID THE UNSTOPPABLE

Can you really expect Astrid, the little thunderbolt of Glimmerdal, to stop singing while she skis? Not according to her! In this lively audiobook, narrator Devon Sorvari portrays spirited Astrid as the heart and soul of her Norwegian village. Even when trouble appears in the form of grumpy Mr. Hagen, who runs an adults-only health retreat, and the mysterious giant woman called Heidi, Astrid remains cheerful and undaunted as she tries to put things right. Sorvari's enthusiastic narration makes this production sing both metaphorically and literally during Astrid's spur-of-the-moment skiing tunes. Each character in this tightly knit community is given a unique voice. Sorvari delivers a memorable story that will have listeners smiling and humming along, even without the skis.
