This spooky middle-grade audiobook has all the cozy comforts of autumn, and Golden Voice Alyssa Bresnahan sets the tone perfectly. When Eve runs away from the orphanage, she's unexpectedly rescued and then adopted by the Pumpkin King. Bresnahan's Pumpkin King sounds delightfully gruff and grumbly, but he's caring and protective, and he just wants to be a good father and give Eve a welcoming home. He takes her to Hallowell Valley, where she discovers that she's the only living human among a bustling populace of scarecrows, witches, vampires, werewolves, skeletons, and other mysterious entities. Bresnahan communicates Eve's confusion, curiosity, and determination, especially once she makes friends in Hallowell and sets out to solve some mysteries and confront her own deep-seated fears. An old-fashioned listening pleasure. J.M.D. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2024]
