Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Luke Treadaway’s performance is nothing short of captivating, bringing Joey to life with such depth that you can almost feel his hooves pounding through mud-strewn fields. His narration perfectly balances the narrative between Joey and his human companions, offering a nuanced exploration of loyalty and sacrifice. The pacing is impeccable—slowing down during poignant moments while maintaining urgency during intense sequences. Despite its 40th anniversary edition, this audiobook stands as a testament to Morpurgo’s storytelling prowess, with a few minor technical issues in the background sound effects that detract slightly from the overall experience.
