ALWAYS Felix and Zelda, Book 7

Author Morris Gleitzman returns to narrate a well-paced, heartfelt final adventure featuring Felix Salinger in the seventh installment of his series spanning the period between WWII and the present day. Wassim, a biracial 10-year-old living with his uncle in Eastern Europe, turns to Felix, a man his grandfather knew who is now in his 80s, for help in dealing with a group that is terrorizing his family. Alternating between Wassim's and Felix's points of view, Gleitzman's comforting voice bolsters listeners as they encounter virulent injustice, racism, and other challenging subject matter. The weight of Felix's past experiences and Wassim's youthful determination are evident in their voices as their lives become increasingly intertwined. Adept pacing delivers listeners to an exciting conclusion, and with it a hopeful bookend to this series. J.R.T. 2021 Best Audiobook © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2021]
