About this listen

Even the smallest wish can be dangerous. That’s why the Collectors are always keeping watch.

The Collectors sweeps listeners into a hidden world where wishes are stolen and dreams have a price. Fast-paced, witty, and riveting, this contemporary fantasy adventure has magic woven through every moment.

It's the first audiobook in a two-audiobook series from Jacqueline West, the New York Times best-selling author of the Books of Elsewhere series. For fans of Serafina and the Black Cloak, The Isle of the Lost, and The Secret Keepers.

Van has always been an outsider. Most people don’t notice him. But he notices them. And he notices the small trinkets they drop, or lose, or throw away - that’s why his collection is full of treasures. Then one day, Van notices a girl stealing pennies from a fountain, and everything changes. He follows the girl, Pebble, and uncovers an underground world full of wishes and the people who collect them. Apparently, not all wishes are good, and even good wishes often have unintended consequences - and the Collectors have made it their duty to protect us.

But they aren't the only ones who have their eyes on the world’s wishes - and they may not be the good guys, after all.

Jacqueline West, author of the New York Times best-selling Books of Elsewhere series, draws listeners into a story about friendship, magic, and the gray area between good and evil. The Collectors is for fans of Cassie Beasley’s Circus Mirandus and Jonathan Auxier’s The Night Gardener.

Awesome Book!

This has got to be one of the most creative and interesting children’s books I have listened to and/or read in a long time. I was thoroughly entranced to the magical essence of the plot while listening, wanting to find out what was going to happen next. It also reminds me a little bit like the book “The Thief Lord”. It was well narrated, too. Highly recommended!

Did not enjoy

So I went back and forth between the book and the audiobook. Ugh. I was just so annoyed with the narrator and his performance of the book. It’s totally a, “It wasn’t him, it was me,” situation. The story is MUCH better when you read it.
