Bran Hambric

The Farfield Curse

By: Kaleb Nation

Narrated by: Marc Thompson

In a bustling metropolis where magic is outlawed, a six-year-old child is found inside a locked bank vault. A scrap of paper reveals his name: Bran Hambric. The child remembers nothing of his life before the vault. Only magic could have done this. But why would any mage risk breaking the law to place a child in a bank vault?

Eight years later the City of Dunce has forgotten about Bran. Even his foster parents don't seem to know he exists. But there are those who have been watching, biding their time, waiting to strike, people who know where Bran came from and why he was sent away. And they will do anything to get Bran back, dead or alive....

Welcome to a world unlike any other where the adventure of a lifetime is just beginning.

Bran Hambric tops Potter

I loved this book, characters really came to life, recommended for kids that love magic and suspense. Excellent narration.
The only problem is that I could not stop listening and could not wake up the next morning.

I love this book growing up

I listened to this growing up and loved it and recently remembered it and am re-listening to it and I still love it.

Enjoyable.

I wasn't sure I would like this book at the beginning. However, Marc Thompson's narration using many FANTASTIC voices made the book most enjoyable. I give the narration 5 stars. A great pre/early teen book.
