AudioBook Atlas

Julia Whelan’s narration brings The Princess in Black and the Mermaid Princess to vibrant life with her energetic and expressive voice.

The pacing is brisk, ideal for a short audiobook that still manages to pack plenty of plot twists and humorous moments. Shannon Hale’s writing shines through Julia's performance, celebrating themes of bravery and camaraderie while educating young listeners about marine life. However, some might find the mermaid storyline a bit on-the-nose, emphasizing environmental awareness in an overt way. Overall, this audiobook is a delightful addition to any child’s library, perfect for bedtime or car rides.
