The Conjuring Glass

The Phoenix Girls, Book 1

By: Brian Knight

Narrated by: Sarah Sanford

When 13-year-old orphan Penny Sinclair moves to the small town of Dogwood to live with her godmother, she expects her life to become very dull. She doesn't expect to find a strange talking fox roaming the countryside near her new home, a kindred spirit in her new friend Zoe, or the secret grove where they discover the long hidden magic of The Phoenix Girls.

Learning to use magic isn't easy, though; Penny and Zoe get their magic wrong almost as often as they get it right. When something sinister threatens Dogwood, their often accidental magic may be the only thing that can stop it.

Whimsical YA fantasy meets real world odd kids,

....and it's perfect. A narration that draws you into the story and makes it believable rather than one that distracts or repels is a huge plus, and this combination works. The story is enchanting, and one worthy of a listen for anyone who had that awkward "loner" childhood and just never seemed to fit in. Little by little the outcasts come together to make a great cast in this adventure. I can't wait for more!

Great story and excellent narration

Engaging story - I like the way it moves and the relationship between the girls as they unfold. Excellent quality performance by the narrator, smooth and easy to listen to. Great transitions and fluidity.
