WHEN YOU AND I COLLIDE

Set during WWII, this teen audiobook is an engaging mix of sci-fi and historical drama. Narrator Sarah Naughton voices Winnie Schulde, the daughter of a physicist who cruelly experiments on her, trying to unravel the theory of multiple universes. When an experiment goes wrong, Winnie transports to another universe where she encounters-- herself. Portraying the same characters does not prove daunting to the tremendously talented Naughton. She varies her emotions wonderfully. In one world, Winnie has a reserved, inquisitive energy; her father, a sterner scientific voice; and both an occasional German accent. But in the alternate universe, they're noticeably different. Naughton expertly balances the changing personalities and maintains a perfect pace so that her narration, with its quiet intensity, creates an engaging audio experience. E.P.
