A Pinch of Magic

This audiobook has just what a middle-grade adventure needs--engaging characters, an unpredictable plot, a bit of fun, superstition, magic, and Bianca Amato's captivating narration. Amato excels at evoking the dank, mist-shrouded marshes of Crowstone and their ominous past, which seeps into the story's present. She creates distinct personalities for the brave Widdershin sisters--thoughtful Fliss, adventurous Betty, and lively, lisping Charlie--and further enhances the narrative through the skillful voicing of a diverse cast of characters. This is a suspenseful tale of love and loyalty overcoming treachery and malice. With perfect pacing Amato draws the listener into a world of enchanted objects, deadly curses, and a gripping, high-stakes quest to survive. A wonderful listen!
