Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

John McDonough shines brilliantly as he masterfully portrays each character with distinct voices that bring the quirky personalities of Ereth and Poppy to vibrant life. The audiobook captures the essence of Avi's storytelling, blending humor with poignant moments of friendship. The pacing is just right, balancing lively dialogue with serene forest scenes. While some might find Ereth’s initial selfishness a little too much, McDonough’s performance ensures that even this grumpy character grows on you by story’s end. A delightful addition to the Poppy series and an excellent choice for young listeners ready for a more nuanced narrative.
