THE RISE AND FALL OF CHARLES LINDBERGH

From its opening, which features a chilling description of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh's speech at an America First rally, Kirsten Potter expertly narrates this nonfiction audiobook for youth. Following Lindbergh's life from his birth in Detroit and his childhood in Minnesota and Washington, DC, through his travels and the controversies surrounding him in adulthood, Potter delivers a strong, lively performance. Imbuing the narrative with emotion, her presentation maintains one's interest throughout. In particular, she uses slight changes in tone to differentiate direct quotations from various people in Lindbergh's life. An engaging story, both in content and in production, this work will keep both young and adult listeners thoroughly engaged. A.L.S.M.
