Changelings

Ronan and Murel, two twins born on the sentient planet of Petaybee, aren't typical children since they change into river seals when in water and communicate telepathically, traits they inherited from their father. Their secret puts them in danger when a researcher observes them and vows to put the twins under her microscope. Robert Ramirez's reading has a "tell-me-a-story" quality that younger listeners will enjoy, although the story is suitable for all ages. The best parts in Ramirez's narration portray the telepathic communication between the twins and animals, most notably a playful otter they befriend. CHANGELINGS would be an excellent selection for a family trip. J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
