THE ADVENTURER'S GUIDE TO SUCCESSFUL ESCAPES

Linda Henning's spirited narration proves that there's no such thing as too much adventure. For thrill-seeking Anne, who spends her days toiling at St. Lupin's Institute for Perpetually Wicked and Hideously Unattractive Children, a quest with her best friend, Penelope, is a dream come true. Henning captures the evil matron's contempt for Anne at school and during the quest, when she's cast as its token villain. Henning delivers all the guide's helpful hints with tongue in cheek. She keeps the tension up and the pacing brisk, for the stakes are high, time is running out, and the girls' futures hang in the balance. The audiobook whizzes by in a blur of exhilarating action-- cracking riddles, avoiding dragon fireballs, and evading deadly foes. M.F.T. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2017]
