ELVIRA VANCE AND THE MONSTER MYSTERY

Narrator Gail Shalan gives a spirited performance of this ghoulish mystery. Elvira, a half-siren who lives in a trailer park for monsters, is very skeptical of the human world outside it. When they learn that a human detective is on the case of the missing Marfa Monster Festival crown, Elvira and her friends decide to investigate on their own. But more monster residents disappear as Elvira gets closer to discovering what happened to the crown. Shalan's narration will surely entertain a young audience as she gives unique voices to each character in the monstrous cast. Her performance brings the trailer park setting to life, adds fun to the world-building, and projects just enough suspense to keep kids listening. A masterfully crafted listen. G.M.
