Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was captivated by George Guidall’s performance in 'The Specter from the Magician's Museum.' His voice perfectly captures the eerie yet whimsical tone of John Bellairs' writing. The narrative is full of suspense, with just enough lighthearted humor to keep things from becoming too heavy. My 10-year-old was both terrified and thrilled by the story's blend of adventure and mystery. However, I found some of the character development felt a bit rushed at times, which slightly detracted from their depth. Nevertheless, this audiobook is an excellent choice for those looking to explore Bellairs' world in a truly immersive way.
