SPLIT

red_earphones.gifSPLIT

Swati Avasthi, Read by Joshua Swanson • Unabridged • JUNE 2010

Listening Library • Trade Ed.

Listening Library • Library Ed.

 

When 16-year-old Jace is kicked out of his Chicago home, he shows up—with a swollen, bloody face—on his older brother’s doorstep in Albuquerque. Joshua Swanson depicts Jace’s toughness and frustration with an edge of bitterness that makes sense when the plot reveals his guilt over having “abandoned” his mother at home, where she serves as his father’s punching bag. And there’s something else—shame when he refers to an unresolved relationship with a past girlfriend. The power of story and narration comes in the hero’s tortured struggles to resolve his haunting, brutal past and complex relationships, as well as his own violent tendencies and faltering attempts to make a new future.

red_earphones.gifTHIS BOOK IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU

Pseudonymous Bosch, Read by Joshua Swanson and a full cast • Unabridged • NOVEMBER 2009

Hachette Audio • Trade Ed.

BBC Audiobooks America • Library Ed.

 

Chocolate originated with the ancient Aztec and Mayan cultures and remains one of the most popular foods in the world. Here are chocolate facts and chocolate secrets! In this third volume penned by the mysterious Pseudonymous Bosch, the author is both first-person narrator AND a character in the book. Like an audio ringmaster, Joshua Swanson expertly juggles both parts, introducing other characters, directly asking the listener questions, whispering helpful asides, and encouraging our heroine, Cass (played with verve by Cassandra Morris), to forge on as she battles an evil dessert chef, rescues her kidnapped mother, and dodges some very deadly sweets. This bright mix of warm narration, fine acting, sound effects, and of course, chocolate is the recipe for one of the most innovative and entertaining children’s audio productions of the year. B.P.
