WHEN YOU LOOK LIKE US

Preston Butler deftly narrates this high-tension audiobook about a teenager's search for his sister. When Nicole goes missing, Jayson Murphy first assumes she's off with her shady boyfriend. Once he begins to think something more sinister has happened, he struggles to get anyone in authority to care enough to help. As portrayed by Butler, Jay is witty and sarcastic one minute and piercingly vulnerable the next as he tries to track down Nicole against all odds. Butler also creates wonderfully distinct voices for those who help and hinder Jay along the way, including his loving grandma, MiMi; clever preacher's daughter Riley; and sly, drug-dealing Javon. Butler's dynamic narration makes the vividly described world of Jay's neighborhood come alive. N.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2021]
