by Alex Flinn
Hennepin County Library audiobook 7 discs
read by Angela Dawe and Nick Podehl
genre: YA fantasy, romance
This author certainly has an art of creating obnoxious teen characters, twisting an old fairy tale into a modern-day setting, and making the ending come out well. This is a retelling of sleeping beauty, with the fairies, witch, spindle, etc. Dawe's voicing of Princess Talia was irritating with its little-girl breathiness and odd accent. Podehl voiced Jack with all his teenage awkwardness and sincerity very well. I'm not a fan of Flinn's, but I think he does a great job for a certain type of reader. Between this one and the Beauty and the Beast, I think I liked B and B better . . .
