About this listen
Critic Reviews
'One of the best kids books that I have ever read. Even better than the hype!' (Rob De Koning, Lamont Books)
'Amelia Mellor has crafted a fine piece of social history as well as a riveting adventure story for readers 10+ … Her writing is quite cinematic and will appeal to today’s readers.' (Better Reading)
'A wonder … [It] has wizardry, absurdism, and magic to boot, and the reader is ushered along a pacey narrative structured by bizarre challenges, puzzles, and ordeals.' (The Book Bird)
Narrator Meg Dunn portrays Pearl and Vally Cole, who live in the spectacular Cole's Book Arcade and get to enjoy all of its wonderful offerings. But when their father makes a deal with the strange Obscurosmith, the Cole family, and the arcade itself, are put in danger. Pearl and Vally must play a game--and win--to save them all. This adventure has puzzles to solve as Pearl and Vally race against time to preserve their memories and keep their family intact. While Dunn's narration sounds a bit rote throughout the narrative, the characters shine, especially the slimy and mysterious Obscurosmith. Some of the puzzles involve mild peril, which Dunn delivers with steady pacing. (AudioFile Magazine)
