Pages & Co.: The Lost Fairy Tales
Anna James · 2020
🎙 Narrated by Aysha Kala
65/100
👎 Skip It
Tilly and Oskar's bookwandering adventure into a broken fairy-tale world is a charming, imaginative premise for kids who already love libraries and stories. It's very much a sequel though, leaning hard on book one's setup and villain, and I couldn't dig up any independent word on Aysha Kala's narration to tell you whether it's worth the listen or just serviceable. Mild fantasy peril throughout, nothing concerning for the age range, but this scores as a solid-not-standout entry.
