excruciatingly suspenseful wilderness adventure.”

“Barbara
Rosenblat is the de facto voice of protagonist Anna Pigeon in this
renowned suspense series—and for good reason. With fifteen of the previous
audiobooks to her credit, Rosenblat demonstrates once again in this
eighteenth book why she’s so often chosen to narrate. The range of
emotions and voices would tax many narrators, but Rosenblat handles them
all, whether it’s the menace of the villain or the fearful cries of a
terrified teenager.”

night, and with the terror and fear of not rescuing her friends.”
