WILD BORN Spirit Animals, Book 1

Nicola Barber provides an engaging narration of the first book in the Spirit Animals series. This book focuses on the children--Conor, Abeke, Meilin, and Rollan--who summon the Four Fallen as their spirit animals. The children come from very different parts of Erdas, and Barber provides each one with a distinct accent and cadence. Meilin and Abeke have more confidence, while the boys Conor and Rollan are portrayed with more hesitancy as they struggle to connect with their spirit animals. Barber portrays the Green Cloaks with more authority and sets up the next book in this series with a fine action scene. E.N. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2014]
