Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Penelope McDonald’s narration elevates 'Please Don't Take My Sisters,' providing a nuanced and emotive delivery that perfectly complements the raw, heartfelt content. Her ability to convey the unique voices of the three young protagonists is particularly noteworthy; each sister's voice rings true and resonant with authenticity. Hartley's writing shines through in the details she shares about their daily lives, making the girls' struggles feel all too real. While some scenes may be emotionally taxing, the audiobook’s pacing keeps the listener engaged throughout. A specific critique: despite its strength in character development, the book could benefit from more explicit guidance on how listeners can support families facing similar situations.
