The Glass Frog

De: J. Brandon Lowry

Narrado por: J. Brandon Lowry

Sophie Farrier—a bright and imaginative teen girl—was born with rotten luck. Misfortune has placed her in Seaside, a dull and dreary village filled with dull and dreary people. It is a place where creativity is frowned upon, outsiders are shunned, and no one dares to stand out. Those who actually muster up the courage to leave are never heard from again.

After a terrible storm, the sea casts ashore a mysterious, unconscious man who bears the gifts of magic. Seaside is thrown into an uproar, and in the resulting chaos, Sophie gets a glimpse of the dread secrets buried at home. Now, she must set out on a journey to learn more about her family, her world, and herself. Yet the road out of Seaside is fraught with peril.

There is a keeper of secrets lying in Sophie’s path, one whose ruined past is entwined with her own. A master of deception, he seeks to destroy her very sense of self using the cruelest weapon of all—the truth.

Magical w/narrators character accents & voices!

I loved the story of Sophia as she travels thru a foreign land meeting interesting, fun and not so fun characters on her adventure! She is on a journey to find the secret to her deceased parents past and ends up learning a lot about herself along the way. The author/narrator is so fun to listen to, I laughed out loud more than once. The characters really come to life with their different accents and voices. The audio version is definitely mesmerizing and kept me listening and wanting more until the very end. It follows the line of fairy tales, but also divulges the challenges of fitting into a world where you feel out of place. It is a must read if you like fantasy novels and I will be listening to it again!
