With his versatile voice, narrator Paul Van Dyck takes listeners to the magical world of Lake Mallion. The second book in the Brindlewatch Quintet explores the world of 15-year-old Dunstan Cord. Dunstan has just been diagnosed with macular degeneration. Determined not to let his diagnosis quash his dreams, he decides to run away to become a singing sensation in the theater. But before he can leave, his ex-boyfriend abducts him and throws him overboard into Lake Mallion. Dunstan sinks to the bottom of the lake, where a door to a magical world opens. Van Dyck portrays Dunstan in a charming voice that conveys the teen's youth and vulnerability. He provides the other characters with unique voices, as well.
