THE GIRL, THE RING, & THE BASEBALL BAT

A talented trio of narrators explore what it means to be young and misunderstood in this magical YA audio. Rosie, Caro and Zeke have little in common except their frustration at not being seen for who they are. When each discovers a talisman that seemingly allows them to right the wrongs they've experienced, they band together to take control of their futures. Amanda Alcántara voices Rosie, who is stifled by low expectations and becomes a bundle of frustration. Melania Luisa's Caro is both harder yet more vulnerable; her temper flares quickly, and her fists follow, covering up her tender emotions. As Zeke, André Santana expresses an outwardly breezy self-assurance that hides a heart yearning for love and understanding. N.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
