The Whispering Wars

De: Jaclyn Moriarty

Narrado por: Edward Killingback, Sarah Ovens, Imogen Wilde

From the award-winning Jaclyn Moriarty comes a spellbinding tale of unlikely friendship, unexpected magic, and competitive athletics.

The town of Spindrift is frequented by all kinds of Shadow Mages and charlatans.

It's also home to the Orphanage School, where Finlay lives with Glim, Taya, and Eli. Just outside town is the painfully posh Brathelthwaite Boarding School, home to Honey Bee, Hamish, and Victor, Duke of Ainsley. When the two schools compete at the Spindrift Tournament, the stakes are high, tensions are higher, and some people are out to win at any cost. Before long, the orphans and the boarding school kids are at each other's throats.

And then the Whispering Wars break out, and Spindrift is thrust onto the front lines. Children are being stolen; witches, sirens, and a deadly magical flu invade the town; and all attempts to fight back are met with defeat.

Finlay, Honey Bee, and their friends must join forces to outwit the encroaching forces of darkness, rescue the stolen children, and turn the tide of the war. But how can one bickering troupe outwit the insidious power of the Whisperers?

This is the second book in the series don’t get confused

Fun escape and great adventure story. This
Author is so creative, a true story teller.

Also, this is the same book as the “Slightly Alarming Tale of the Whispering Wars” - wish they hadn’t changed the name, was a bit confusing.

Finley can be a little unsympathetic sometimes, wish it wasn’t the old trope of the rough rude boy whom you are supposed to like simply because boys are allowed to be that way. Still, overall clever telling and good characters.

Such a fun series

Delightful series, very fun to listen to. The readers for each book have been wonderful!

My 11 year old and I loved the second book in the series!

So wonderfully written: creative, entertaining and well-narrated. These books are gems! We can’t wait to read the next one.
