About This Audiobook

Bryce and Ashley Timberline are just trying to enjoy summer when their stepfather’s erratic behavior throws their world into chaos. One night, they stumble upon a hidden room in their new home—stocked with strange artifacts and a journal filled with coded messages. What starts as a sibling adventure quickly spirals into a hunt for truth that forces them to confront secrets their stepfather has spent years burying. Jenkins crafts a tightly plotted mystery that’s less about supernatural thrills and more about the unraveling of trust within a blended family. The pacing is relentless, balancing suspense with moments of quiet reflection, making it ideal for young listeners who crave intrigue without gratuitous scares.

The audiobook’s full-cast narration elevates the story with distinct character voices that bring Bryce and Ashley’s growing panic to life. Samantha Beach lends Ashley a determined edge, while Blain Hogan nails Bryce’s mix of curiosity and dread. The supporting cast subtly layers in tension, from the stepfather’s ominous tone to the eerie silence in the hidden room. That said, the production occasionally stumbles with abrupt sound effects—like a door slam that lands a beat too late—which briefly jars the immersion. Still, the commitment to performance makes this feel like a high-stakes radio drama, perfect for family road trips or bedtime listen-alongs.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As a parent who’s tested more than a few middle-grade audiobooks, I was skeptical about another ‘kids uncover a family secret’ plot. But *Stolen Secrets* surprised me with its emotional depth and genuine suspense. The stepfather’s secrets aren’t cartoonishly villainous—they’re grounded in plausible betrayals that feel like real wounds, which makes the kids’ discoveries hit harder. Ashley’s fiery determination and Bryce’s cautious skepticism create a dynamic duo that avoids the clichés of ‘one smart kid’ narratives. The hidden room itself is a fantastic set piece, described with enough detail to spark listeners’ imaginations. Narration-wise, the full-cast approach works brilliantly for this story. Beach’s Ashley is all fire and grit, while Hogan’s Bryce oscillates between wide-eyed wonder and creeping dread—his delivery of a late-night whisper, *‘We shouldn’t be here,’* sent chills down my spine. The only misstep is the occasional overuse of eerie ambient sounds, like a slow creak of a floorboard that lingers a second too long, breaking the tension instead of building it. Still, the production’s energy keeps the 104-minute runtime flying by. My 10-year-old stuck around for the entire thing, and after listening, she asked me if *we* could check our house for hidden rooms—which, I think, is the highest compliment an audiobook can earn.
