Publisher's Summary

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.

Entertaining fantasy book

As an adult listening to this children's novel, I was really impressed how exciting the story felt. Granted, I love children's stories so this is a pretty norm genre for me to love but the narrator had great voice acting moments and it all worked seamlessly together. There was one jarring soundscape when alarms sounded but that let me believe the urgency in the plot. Enjoyable writing style and story overall! Sam was a very likeable main character.
