The Electrical Menagerie, a one-of-a-kind robotic roadshow, is bankrupt. Sylvester Carthage, illusionist and engineer, has the eccentric imagination the Menagerie needs to succeed creatively - but none of the people skills. Fast-talking Arbrook Huxley, meanwhile, has all the savvy the Menagerie needs to succeed commercially - but none of the scruples.
To save their show, Carthage and Huxley risk everything in a royal talent competition, vying for the once-in-a-lifetime chance to perform for the future celestial queen. In this stardust- and spark-powered empire of floating islands and flying trains, the Electrical Menagerie's bid at fame and fortune means weathering the glamorous and cutthroat world of critics, high society, and rival magicians - but with real conspiracy lurking beneath tabloid controversy, there's more at stake in this contest than the prize.
Behind the glittery haze of flash paper and mirrors, every competitor has something to hide...and it's the lies Carthage and Huxley tell each other that may cost them everything.

The narrator absolutely brings the story to life with tons of personality and distinctive voices for each character. I think Carthage's accent was my favorite :) His engaging portrayal kept me on the edge of my seat - sometimes nervous, sometimes laughing, occasionally tearing up... For you audiobook fans out there, this one should definitely go on your list!
I would highly recommend The Electrical Menagerie for anyone who would enjoy a fun, big top-centered adventure with dynamic characters and a new world to explore.

Fun, humor, life lessons, and all the feels!

Carthage, of course, was my favorite accent, but I have to say that Huxley was actually the voice that I was impressed by the the most. The narrator cleverly gives him his own unique inflection and phrasing, which I think is really hard to do in your "own" accent.
This is such a clever story, and it moves quickly so there's never a dull second. The world is created with care and precision, it has a familiar sense to it, but it's all new and wonderful. The characters' goals are well defined and the ending is... sensational. ;) I can't wait for more adventures with these two boys!

Mr. Baldree provided wonderful narration with different accents and voices for the characters, including the speaking electricals, which made it very easy to follow.
I look forward to reading more in the Celestial Isles series and I hope that this duo continues their work together.
