SERENA AND THE SEA SERPENT

The people of Blubber Point are being terrorized by a sea serpent. Can Serena Smith, one of the smartest girls in Australia, if not the world, help set the situation straight? Samantha volunteers to help and in a neat plot twist discovers the joy of not knowing it all. Stig Wemyss is a funny and vivacious narrator, and children love his Australian accent. He playfully creates funny voices for many characters, including the mayor and the sea serpent. The production also includes light sound effects that illustrate (but don't interfere with) children's imaginings of this tale. The Aussie Bites series is a fun way to introduce American listeners to stories from another culture. J.C.G. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 06]
