The Three Royal Children and the Batty Aunt

De: Angela Castillo

Narrado por: Lisa Hicks

Princess Celeste is bored to tears, and her brothers, Prince Jude and Prince Torrin, aren't doing much better.

In a palace where all they have to look forward to are endless games of croquet and barley-water soup for supper, they don't have much by way of excitement. Until the one night Torrin sees a light in a forgotten tower of the palace, and they meet a wonderful and mysterious aunt who unlocks a brand-new world of adventure they will never forget.

4/5

Summary:
Three royal children (Celeste, Jude, and Torrin) meet their eccentric (great??) Aunt Maggie. She’s an inventor who takes them on an adventure.

Additional Comments:
• Aunt Maggie might be my favorite character.
• Side note: Not sure if it was a narrator choice but Celeste was pronounced rather oddly.
• The narrator did an okay job with the story. I had it going at 2x speed, so the slow factor didn’t really bother me.
• Totally kid-safe story. The solution to the problem was rather heartwarming, but the reason for the conflict could have been stronger.
• Maggie’s cool creations are fun to learn about.
• I question some of the parenting skills of the king and queen, but that’s neither here nor there.
• Probably the opening for a longer series featuring the MCs.

Conclusion:
If you enjoy children’s fantasy stories featuring princes and princesses, check this one out.

Great Children's Adventure!

Fun story of mythical Lands and Royal Children. Adventure and Mystery! And what is up in that Fourth Tower!?! Read well... The kids will enjoy!

great story; sub-par narration

This was a fun adventure for a trio of royal children stuck in a boring life... or so they think. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it for children - I think I would have loved it when I was into Half Magic and similar books.

The audiobook narration was sub-par; the narrator spoke far too slowly and Enunciated. Everything. Far. Too. Much. It was a bit painful to listen to at first. She also used very odd voices for some of the children, and southern accents for some of the Eep adults, which felt jarring in a fantasy story.
