“Nicola
Barber provides an engaging narration of the first book in the Spirit
Animals series. This book focuses on the children…and Barber provides
each one with a distinct accent and cadence. Meilin and Abeke have more
confidence, while the boys Conor and Rollan are portrayed with more
hesitancy as they struggle to connect with their spirit animals. Barber
portrays the Green Cloaks with more authority and sets up the next book
in this series with a fine action scene.”
