Title: The Midnight Zoo

Author: Sonya Hartnett

Narrator: Richard Aspel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-31-10

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Two gypsy boys are fleeing through a war-ravaged countryside during the night, carrying a secret bundle. The boys stumble across a town that has been reduced to smoking rubble, and a zoo that is still intact. When the boys take shelter in the zoo, they discover a menagerie of talking animals. Both the boys and the animals tell their tales and speak of their desire for freedom.

Like The Silver Donkey and The Ghosts Child, this is another beautiful fable-like tale that will move you to tears. Its a story that will appeal to all ages, that merges history with fantasy; adults will enjoy this as much as children.

Editorial Reviews:

Richard Aspels dynamic, tour-de-force performance imbues Sonya Hartnetts beautiful and heartbreaking childrens tale with an emotional depth and humanism befitting of the subject matter. Set in WWII, The Midnight Zoo finds two Romani gypsy siblings, Andrej and Tomas, feeing from the Nazis and seeking safe haven in an abandoned, hidden zoo, which boasts a collection of self-aware, talking animals who, like the brothers, display an unwavering hope and strength in the face of unspeakable atrocity.

Aspel deftly captures the trembling whimper of a nine-year-old boy and the raspy bellow of an anthropomorphized wolf with equal finesse, and elevates this seamless blend of historical fiction and magical realism to greater heights.

Publisher's Summary:

When John and Marta found the boy on the porch, they were curious, naturally, as to why he was there - and they hadn't expected him to stay, not at first, but he did stay, day after day, until it seemed as if he belonged, running and smiling and laughing his silent laugh, tapping and patting on every surface as he made his music, and painting - with water, with paint, with mud - those swirly swirls and swings and trees.

One day a young couple wakes to find a boy asleep on their porch. Unable to speak, the boy cannot explain his history. What kind of people would leave their child with strangers? All John and Marta know is that they have been chosen to care for this boy. As their connection to him grows, they embrace his exuberant spirit and talents. The three of them blossom into an unlikely family, but how long can their happiness last?

From Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech comes a singular story that reminds us of the surprising connections that emerge when generosity prevails.

Title: Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass

Author: Lewis Carroll

Narrator: Ralph Cosham

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-08-04

Publisher: Findaway World

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 193 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There stands alone as a great work of fantasy. Written six years after The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland, it is in many ways a more complex and far-ranging story. In the backward land of the looking glass, hear the story of the Jabberwocky and be the guest of Tweedledum and Tweedledee and confront Humpty Dumpty who scornfully states, "When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean: neither more nor less."

Critic Reviews:

"Only Lewis Carroll has shown us the world upside down as a child sees it, and has made us laugh as children, irresponsibly." (Virginia Woolf)

"Cosham's ability to follow the sinuous curves of sentences and his dignified but dramatic sense of pacing make this a thoroughly satisfying listening experience." (Booklist)

When Brian and Gregory receive an invitation to stay at a distant relative's strange manse...well, they should know better than to go, since this is a middle-grade adventure novel.
