Narrator Cyrina Fiallo shines as the voice of the brave little witch Seven Salazar in Claribel A. Ortega’s charming children’s fantasy. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly talk about this adventurous series opener full of bravery and magic for kids. Turning 12 makes Seven Salazar eligible to join a coven during her town’s Black Moon Ceremony, but she’s shocked when she isn’t sorted into one of the five covens. To keep their magic, Seven and her fellow Spares, Thorn and Valley, must perform an impossible task and defeat the deadly Nightbeast—but if they fail, they will be turned into toads forever. Young listeners will be thrilled to explore this new magical world full of witches, toad racing, cucos, and wild adventures.
