Arlo Finch in the Valley of Fire

De: John August

Narrado por: James Patrick Cronin

This is the first book in a spellbinding fantasy adventure series so believable you may wonder if it's happening in your own backyard.

"As Arlo looked around, the walls of his room began to vanish, revealing a moonlit forest. Only his bed remained and the frame of his window, through which he saw the girl. The world on her side of the glass was sparkling with silver and gold, like a palace made of autumn leaves. She looked off to her right. Someone was coming. Her words came in an urgent whisper: 'If I can see you, they can see you. You're in danger. Be careful, Arlo Finch.'"

Arlo Finch is a newcomer to Pine Mountain, Colorado, a tiny town of mystery and magic, but he has already attracted the attention of dark and ancient forces. At first he thinks these increasingly strange and frightening occurrences are just part of being in Rangers, the mountain scouting troop where he learns how to harness the wild magic seeping in from the mysterious Long Woods. But soon Arlo finds himself at the center of a dangerous adventure, where he faces obstacles that test the foundations of the Ranger's Vow: Loyalty, Bravery, Kindness, and Truth.

perfect family listen

This is an amazing family book. we are always on the lookout for books we can listen to as a family. Unfortunately more often than not most family books are not very appealing for the parents. this one was. I found the Mother character interesting but I mostly loved the way the kids saw the adults. It definitely garnered lots of giggles from the adults in the vehicle. Can't wait to listen to the next two.

LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!

Absolutely LOVED it ❤️
The story was fun and grabs you right from the start! You feel like you're right there with your best friends on an amazing adventure 😜
The narrator was AWESOME 😎 I can't wait for the next book!

HOLY GUACAMOLE

This may just be my favorite book! It had everything to make it the best book in the entire universe! Such a fan must read! I think real Boy Scouts like me, who love nature will love it even more!

Best book ever

This is my 5th time reading this book I highly recommend it for all ages

WOW! Interestingly written and highly entertaining!

This was a fun, light change of pace from the military sci-fi I usually like listening to. I loved the narration—the clever point of view of a young mind, with a story that was interesting to a grown man. Left me wanting more. Well done, John August!

Good But Not a Wow

The kids liked this book but it didn't not engage them as much as other books. They liked it enough to try book 2 so we'll see.

Arlo Finch

great listen for adults and older children , looking forward to the second one in the series!!

Amazing story with a great Narrator!

Kids loved the story and I was surprised by the depth of the world and characters. On to book 2!

Brilliant

Seamless and intriguing blending of two worlds. I also love the idea of the "Wonder." It harkens to great childhood classics like Alice In Wonderland. I hope that the next books explores the other world more.
