The Girl Who Sailed the Stars

“Narrator Stephanie Foxley whisks listeners onto an ice-capped ocean, introducing them to Oona Britt and the chilly waters she calls home. Foxley gives Oona, the unwanted daughter of a lauded sea captain, notes of childlike innocence in her voice. Eventually, her tone shifts to calm resolve when Oona’s bravery and intrigue lead her to stow away on her father’s ship, the Plucky Leopard. Voicing the novel’s entire cast, Australian-born Foxley ensures that even lesser known characters—like Prince Manfred of Turnip Town—are given distinct tones and tempos, setting each apart from the rest. Listeners both young and old are sure to enjoy Foxley’s expert narration paired with Woods’s charming story.” —Audiofile
