A deftly crafted fantasy brought vividly to life

Superbly narrated by Mellisaa Eccleston, "Undine" by Penni Russon is the story of Undine, a young girl who gets along quite well with her somewhat eccentric mother, loves her little baby brother, and is best friends with her next-door neighbor Trout -- who has something of a crush on her. But something strange is beginning to happen to her. She finds that she is able to affect the weather. It seems she is beginning to be able to do magic! But magic can have consequences -- sometime rather unpleasant ones. This complete and unabridged, 6 CD audiobook is flawlessly recorded with a running time of six hours. A deftly crafted fantasy brought vividly to life in a true 'theatre of the mind' experience for children age 13 and older, "Undine" will prove to be a popular addition to school and community audiobook collections!

A very good bood

I really liked this book, and although it wasn't alway clear what was going on, the author describes her characters very well and gives them depth and meaning

BRILLIANT!!!

I'm not a big book reader, I just dont seem to find the time. But I just couldn't put Undine down! I was entrapped in the mystery and the magic. A book that I'm sure most people will enjoy. I highly recommend it. I'm lucky enough to be in Australia where the second novel has been released. I promise you, once you read Undine you will want to read the second book! Do yourself a favour... and buy it!
