MAYBE MAYBE MARISOL RAINEY Maybe Marisol, Book 1

This is a charming slice-of-life audiobook told through short chapters and interconnected stories of Marisol's summer. Eight-year-old Marisol loves silent films; her cat, Beans; and her best friend, Jada. But Marisol also gets nervous easily and worries about things like climbing Peppina, the tree in her backyard, and encountering the mean girl at school. Though the text is just right for beginning independent readers, Amielynn Abellera's evocative narration adds to the story, making it a great listen for those of all ages. Abellera excels at giving a distinct voice to each character, including the various objects and animals Marisol interacts with. Listeners are sure to enjoy their time with Marisol. Thanks to Abellera's humor and heart, this is an audiobook to savor. S.B.T. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2021]
