“When a talented storywriter and a compelling storyteller get together, the result is an irresistible audio experience…Mutiyat Ade-Salu's soft-spoken voice and confiding tone guide the listener into the thick of Anna’s adventures. Her leisurely pace and hints of pregnant pauses heighten the drama. She also voices a calm and wise grandmother and is spot-on as Anna’s younger twin brothers, Double and Trouble.
