The Story Girl
Lu par LibriVox Volunteers
Carlisle on St. Edwards Island may appear to the outside world to be a quiet, rural farming town, but to a group of 8 teens and tweens, its forests, fields, and orchards are places of enchantment, wonder, and adventure!
The Story Girl’s captivating tales toss Bev, Felix, Cecily, Felicity, Dan, Peter, Sara, and the Story Girl into mystical, magical, and spiritual worlds filled with princesses, sailors, mythological beings, and cosmological loves. The children find themselves running through ancient forests, shooting with the stars, sailing with treasure hunters, crossing rainbows with gods, spooking alongside the family ghosts, and discovering loves lost, loves found, and loves eternal. Through their real-life adventures, conflicts, and crises, the children struggle to find their voices, figure out who they are, and discover their place in the world – all while developing lasting bonds of friendship and love, during the mystical, magical, mesmerizing adventure of growing up. (Summary by TJ Burns).

Critiques
Slyly wise
Claire Marie-Peterson
This is a moving reading, with a different voice for each character. I was at first disappointed that the male narrator was read by a woman, but then it occurred to me that LM Montgomery was, after all ventriloquizing through her male narrator, so there's a kind of fittingness to it. The question remains of why Montgomery chose a male narrator to begin with. Perhaps she wanted to distance herself duscreetly from the title character, resemblance to whom she was perhaps self-consciously humble. The book is ostensibly for children, but there is a lot of sly wisdom in it likely to escape a young reader, particularly under the heading of theology. "Had he been a Catholic, he would have become a monk, but sonce he was a Presbyterian, the best he could do was to become a crank." LOL!

Different voices with one narrator. Laughing and crying was hard to take. I have never read this novel of Montgomery's. I am on a mission to listen to as many as I can find so appreciate this Libri Vox edition being available
