TRISTAN STRONG PUNCHES A HOLE IN THE SKY

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Amir Abdullah

Children Ages 10+ • 11 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2019

Narrator Amir Abdullah's rich baritone brings a thrilling mythological world to life. Tristan Strong's best friend, Eddie, died a few weeks ago, and Tristan has just lost his first boxing match. He's sent to his grandparents' Alabama farm to work off his grief, and there a tiny sap-covered character out of Anansi tales, called Gum Baby, steals his last connection to Eddie, a story journal. Gum Baby is hilarious, and Abdullah amps up the humor with her squeaky falsetto. When Tristan fights her for the journal, he punches a hole to another realm and releases a haint that aims to destroy everything he loves. Abdullah conjures a dynamic cast as Tristan reluctantly joins the fight for freedom alongside vibrant African-American and West African gods. E.E.C.
