WITCHLINGS

Narrator Cyrina Fiallo shines as the voice of the brave little witch Seven Salazar. Turning 12 makes Seven eligible to join a coven during the Black Moon Ceremony, which her magical town hosts yearly. But she is shocked and saddened when she's excluded from the five established covens. In order to form a new coven, Seven must perform an impossible task--but if she fails, she will be turned into a toad forever. Fiallo has a tender voice that deftly transforms into the authentic-sounding voice of a 12-year-old girl. Fiallo pronounces the Spanish words peppered throughout the audiobook in a native accent. Overall, she successfully conveys Seven's bravery and determination, and, in addition, voices all the other characters. A.M. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2022]
