Hmmmm..... this one a very different book. Very well narrated by Jenny Lundack. It’s fantasy but the author really thought outside the box. A mix of modern fantasy and old. Kept me busy when I needed it. :0)

This is a great story. My favorite character was the Psammead. I wish he was real.

Such a fun story. Read it as a child and was very happy to come back to it now. At first I was a bit disappointed, that the reader was not British, but Jenny reads so lovingly like your favorite grandmother, that I soon forgot about that and settled into the story. Highly recommended!
