AUDIOBOOK FREEBIES REVIEWED: A Study in Charlotte, Saving Montgomery Sole & Baker's Magic!
Have you guys been keeping up with the 2018 AudiobookSync summer titles? I've certainly been trying, and here's what I thought of what I've listened to so far!
Also, ignore what I said about A Study in Charlotte having permission from SACD's estate, because I don't know if that's true; I think I was combining it in my head with another book, and the Holmes novels are out of copyright now, so fair game.
But when a student they both have a history with dies under suspicious circumstances, ripped straight from the most terrifying of the Sherlock Holmes stories, Jamie can no longer afford to keep his distance. Danger is mounting, and nowhere is safe - and the only people they can trust are each other.
A beautiful, offbeat novel from Mariko Tamaki, cocreator of the best-selling Printz Honor and Caldecott Honor Book This One Summer.
Montgomery Sole is a square peg in a small town, a girl with two moms forced to go to a school full of homophobes and people who don't even know what irony is. Her saving grace: her two best friends, Thomas and Naoki. Monty's obsessed with paranormal mysteries like ESP, astrology, superpowers, and the healing powers of frozen yogurt, but when strange things actually start happening to Monty, she realizes that the greatest mystery of all is herself.
Thoughtful, funny, and honest, this book will make you want to laugh and cry over a big cup of frozen yogurt with extra toppings and your best friends at your side.
Oh neat! I love that you did some reviews of these. I have A STudy in Charlotte so I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. Interesting the choice of narrator for it.
