Princess Celeste is bored to tears, and her brothers, Prince Jude and Prince Torrin, aren't doing much better.
In a palace where all they have to look forward to are endless games of croquet and barley-water soup for supper, they don't have much by way of excitement. Until the one night Torrin sees a light in a forgotten tower of the palace, and they meet a wonderful and mysterious aunt who unlocks a brand-new world of adventure they will never forget.

Three royal children (Celeste, Jude, and Torrin) meet their eccentric (great??) Aunt Maggie. She’s an inventor who takes them on an adventure.
Additional Comments:
• Aunt Maggie might be my favorite character.
• Side note: Not sure if it was a narrator choice but Celeste was pronounced rather oddly.
• The narrator did an okay job with the story. I had it going at 2x speed, so the slow factor didn’t really bother me.
• Totally kid-safe story. The solution to the problem was rather heartwarming, but the reason for the conflict could have been stronger.
• Maggie’s cool creations are fun to learn about.
• I question some of the parenting skills of the king and queen, but that’s neither here nor there.
• Probably the opening for a longer series featuring the MCs.
Conclusion:
If you enjoy children’s fantasy stories featuring princes and princesses, check this one out.

It reminded me of classics from when I was younger, such as The Five Children and It. It's whimsical and thought provoking. Bit not magical, Aunt Maggy is very clear that she doesn't have magic.
I knew going in that this was a children's book. I just didn't realize how much the audiobook would be produced for children. Which makes sense, and it worked perfectly for this story.
Rather than a grand production, Lisa Hicks simply reads the story. She does use her voice to distinguish characters but never so much that you can't tell it's her.
The effect is very much like having your grandmother, or your batty aunt, sit down with you in a large overstuffed armchair and read to you.

The audiobook narration was sub-par; the narrator spoke far too slowly and Enunciated. Everything. Far. Too. Much. It was a bit painful to listen to at first. She also used very odd voices for some of the children, and southern accents for some of the Eep adults, which felt jarring in a fantasy story.

great story; sub-par narration

This book has a thread of fantasy, but is also a great story to teach lessons of cooperation, tolerance of differences, and respect for others. The royal children do not behave poorly, or argue.
This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Lisa Hicks) and I would listen to another. She narrates with expression that would be engaging for kids without going over the top. She has different voices for the characters that are discernible.
There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.

With all of that being said, I was immediately pulled into the story! What a wonderful narrator and a wonderful story. I loved the characters, adventure and “magic”. I think that it would become a fast favorite of children and their parents.
Even though this book was a gift from the author, a review was not solicited.
Fun children’s story!

From a parent's perspective I enjoyed listening to the book too. I usually struggle with audio books that I have read the physical book before but I had no troubles with this story. It was narrated well. I also appreciated that it had many good lessons intertwined with the story so well that I don't think my kids even noticed they were learning how to behave and be kind to others as they listened to this adventure. 5 stars from us!
Captivated my kids!
