THISTLEFOOT

January LaVoy’s performance of this fantasy audiobook demonstrates why she is an AudioFile Golden Voice narrator. Estranged from one another, the Yaga siblings are surprised when they jointly inherit Thistlefoot from their great-great-grandmother. The odd little house, seemingly alive, moves around on chicken legs. As the siblings travel the country in the house, they are followed by a malevolent entity that is set on its destruction. LaVoy breathes life into the characters while weaving the story between the past and the present and taking on multiple points of view. Her skill with voices and accents further entices the listener, pulling one deeper into the tale. This thoroughly entertaining production is perfect for fans of stories with fairy-tale origins.
