A great book becomes even greater in audio form

A fantastic companion to the book version that people of all ages will enjoy. Very easy to follow the story in narration. Easy to distinguish the characters, so there's no loss of continuity as the plot unravels. Though not a teenager, the narrator successfully voices the rollercoaster of emotions of a young girl living an exciting life in dangerous times. Her elocution does justice to the rich descriptive language the author used to tell the tale, too. The final chapter has a surprise twist and, like the ebook, I enjoyed it the most.
