The Equinox Curiosity Shop

By: D. J. MacHale

Narrated by: Josh Hurley

Exclusively on Audible, an original from D. J. MacHale, New York Times best-selling author of the Pendragon series, for ages 8 and up.

Eleven-year-old Sam Calico is an excellent storyteller, inventing wild escapades, but has never had the courage to have a real adventure of his own. That is until one day when a mysterious invitation arrives along with a mechanical dog, inviting him to the Equinox Curiosity Shop - which happens to be in an abandoned building.

Despite his fears, Sam follows the instructions and boards a train to the magical Equinox Valley, where he discovers that the Nexus, which holds the world in equilibrium, is under attack. With the help of some magical toys, Sam has only 24 hours to stop the evil Khord and her twin monkeys, Castor and Pollux, from destroying Equinox Valley and his home outside along with it.

D. J. MacHale is the creator of Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark? and The Outerbounds, coming soon from Amazon Studios.

Enjoyable and fun

My 10 yo son and I really enjoyed the characters especially the dog toy Scootch, yes sir! Sometimes the story was a little confusing like where the characters were (thought they were somewhere else) or who was doing what, like the author forgot a detail or didn’t make it clear, otherwise it was a fun listen and we hope there are more in the series for us to follow up with Sam if he gets to return someday!

Engaging, well paced story with creative turns

My 10 year old son and I listened to this on a road trip. We both were engaged and delighted with the story. Well worth it - very creative and entertaining...

Nice story ,great listening experience. I would definitely recommend it. I understand what the author means when he says he lives in his own world.
