The Language of Seabirds

De: Will Taylor

Narrado por: Michael Crouch

A sweet, tender middle-grade story of two boys finding first love with each other over a seaside summer.

Jeremy is not excited about the prospect of spending the summer with his dad and his uncle in a seaside cabin in Oregon. It's the first summer after his parents' divorce, and he hasn't exactly been seeking alone time with his dad. He doesn't have a choice, though, so he goes... and on his first day takes a walk on the beach and finds himself intrigued by a boy his age running by. Eventually, he and Runner Boy (Evan) meet -- and what starts out as friendship blooms into something neither boy is expecting... and also something both boys have been secretly hoping for.

Well written

Sweet, simple teenage love story expressed through the eyes of teenage boys. Narrator was clear and clear with the right emotion at right time.

Almost a huge mistake

I can’t remember buying this title, and a few days ago, when I started listening to it, I began wondering what possessed me to even give it a try. It turns out to be about two 12-year-olds. So of course I tried to return it. Why would I possibly want to listen to a kids story? But I apparently bought the book during a sale and could not get my credit back. Angry but unwilling to waste my money, I decided to listen to it at least for the hour it takes me to get to work. In that time the author began to sweep me away. Everything — the story, writing, voice acting — was stunningly beautiful, just pitch perfect. I felt like I was growing up all over again, and it was wonderful.

michael crouch delivers again!

for 8-9 years i have found myself listening to LGBT audio books narrated by Michael Crouch, and so at 25 I sought out another one and it did not disappoint. beautiful imagery and a beautiful story about a young boy falling in love while navigating a strained parent relationship. i cant recommend this book enough to everyone

Sweet tale first love, Beautiful

The Language of Seabirds is a sweet tale of first love and the beginning of growing up. The family dynamic is written so so well. So enjoyable, beautifully written, and narrated. Just a breath of fresh air!

Beautiful

A really sweet, touching story that made me ugly cry. One of the easiest 5 star ratings I’ve ever given on Audible.
