Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Sophie Oda’s narration adds a layer of authenticity to 'Dream, Annie, Dream,' bringing Annie’s voice to life with just the right amount of resilience and vulnerability. Her performance is particularly commendable in scenes where Annie faces discrimination; Oda captures the range of emotions without ever straying from the book's empowering tone. The story itself is a mix of relatable daily life and significant milestones that any preteen or teenager can identify with, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating their own coming-of-age experiences. However, the intensity might be too much for younger listeners who aren't quite ready to grapple with such heavy themes yet.
