THE DALLERGUT DREAM DEPARTMENT STORE

As the voice of this audiobook's main character, Penny, narrator Shannon Tyo's gentle, soothing tone proves effective and engaging. Penny lands her dream job at the Dallergut Dream Department Store. Each floor of the store sells different types of dreams. As Penny learns about the importance of sleep and dreams from the store owner, Mr. Dallergut, she and her kooky co-workers realize what an important function the store fulfills. Stories within stories and interconnected characters add interest and surprising elements. Dreams about loved ones who have passed, romantic crushes, and test taking will surely resonate with listeners. With its nonlinear plot and leaps from real-life scenes to dream sequences, this audiobook sometimes feels like a dream. In a light, relaxed tone, Tyo delivers dreamy characters and an imaginative premise. A.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2024]
