Levoy, Myron, Magic Hat of Mortimer Wintergreen.
4:22 hrs. (unbar.). Blackstone Audio, 2015.
After their parents were killed in a Sioux attack, Amy and Joshua
have been living with their evil Aunt Vootch. Set in 1890s South Dakota, Amy
and Joshua are constantly working to the bone and getting punished by their
card-obsessed aunt. When traveling magician/peddler, Mortimer Wintergreen, rolls through town, the
two escape and hitch a ride with him. With the help of the Mortimer's temperamental
magic hat, the siblings and their friend head to New York to find Amy’s and
Joshua’s grandparents. Aunt Vootch,
however, is hot on their trail and determined to bring them back to South
Dakota. Will the siblings find their grandparents in time?
Narrator, Kirby Heyborne’s engaging narrative brings to life the unusual
world of Amy and Joshua. His unique voice adds depth and humor to the
characters and their personalities. The plot is well developed, funny, and easily
draws the reader into the book. The narrative style of Kirby easily complements
the writing style of Levoy. Fans of humorous fantasy adventures will enjoy this
delightful read.
