A truly magical adventure for young adults!

Revisado: 03-01-14

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would recommend this audiobook to anyone young or old, it was a great story and the narrator did an awesome job of portraying the characters and storyline.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Without a doubt my favorite character was Zoe - probably because she is a lot like me - headstrong and knows what she wants, doesn't let anyone push her around. And because there are a lot of aspects of her that I think any girl should look up to!

What about Sonja Field’s performance did you like?

I thought her voice was PERFECT for a young adult book. I could feel her passion for the story when listening to it and she did a great job portraying the characters and doing the different ethnic voices.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me laugh a LOT. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I felt the characters were likeable and that anyone could relate to them, even older generations such as myself.

Any additional comments?

I read a lot of YA audiobooks and this one did not let me down! I loved the storyline and I thought the reader did an awesome job, loved her voice for a YA novel :) The book was funny and moving at the same time, Zoe is very likeable as a character, she has wit, brains and is headstrong with her own opinions and doesn't let anyone tell her what to think. Zak is funny and smart too, and I think most kids can relate to him because he was in a new place trying to make friends by being funny and showing off a bit.

I have not read the first book in this series but I didn't have a problem getting into it and understanding what was happening so I would say this could be a stand-alone book but I can't wait to read the first book and the 3rd book in the series as well :)

This book was fun and very magical, if you enjoyed Harry Potter or Percy Jackson I think you will love this series! The setting of India is awesome, monkeys and elephants and lizards oh my! And of course mystery abounds :) But I also loved the educational parts of the books - you get to meet a lot of other characters with different backgrounds/ethnicities.

The author manages to take what would be a difficult situation of being in a boarding house for kids and somehow make it fun and adventurous for all the kids. I can see this becoming a popular movie series because the characters are so awesome and I think a lot of people would love the story!

All in all this is a magically delicious story and I highly recommend the audiobook version. I don't think you miss out on anything with the audio as you can hear the adventure and passion in the reading - it was fun and easy to listen to and I definitely will be listening to the audio versions of the rest of the series :)
