BREAK THE FALL

With an impressive catalogue of previous audiobooks, narrator Emily Woo Zeller's talents are not surprising. This contemporary teen audiobook is centered around the upcoming 2020 Olympic Games. Gymnast Audrey Lee and her teammates are off to a rough start, beginning with the arrest of their team's head coach. A new coach, a cute boy, team infighting, and struggling with back injuries are adding to Audrey Lee's stress. Giving each of the characters distinct voices that are fitting to their personalities, Zeller provides the listener with an entertaining experience that showcases her versatility. She captures the full range of Audrey's emotions--from her stunned reaction at the arrest of her team's coach to her hesitant excitement over competing in the Olympics.
