Willow Moss, the youngest and least powerful sister in a family of witches, has a magical ability for finding lost things - like keys, or socks, or wooden teeth. Useful, but not exactly exciting. Then the most powerful witch in the world of Starfell turns up at Willow’s door and asks for her help. A whole day - last Tuesday to be precise - has gone missing. Completely. And, without it, the whole universe could unravel. Now Willow holds the fate of Starfell in her rather unremarkable hands. Can she save the day - by finding the lost one?

Agatha for kids and adults.
Really impressed with this, it states its fur 8-10 year olds but I know my 12 year old would enjoy this and I most certainly did.
Narration was good, but in my opinion it needs a younger reader.
Good plot and nice characters to follow through to other books in the series. Not sure I will read any more but it's a great palate cleanser.

Really good story,ok narration
Overall I enjoyed this novel but the title and front cover are quite misleading as the look good for an quite advanced 7-10 year old but I would recommend this book for ages 10-13 as it contains some disturbing themes and is quite a hard storyline to follow. Despite this I really enjoyed this literature as is was exiting and griping with lovely language that captures the imagination of the reader beautifully. The major disappointment of this audio book is the narration, when she is doing the voices of specific characters, especially “mr Maxwell” it is good but when it is just simple story telling narration she sound bored and lame. It is refreshing to have a school girl hero who isn’t glamorous or or indeed so unpopular it’s uncomfortable to read/listen to, as the main protagonist has a few close friends and develops a few new ones in the course of the storyline.
A beautifully written novel with slightly disappointing narration but on the whole a brilliant, engaging book for children age 10-13.

Great story but...
The storyline is great but the reader does read the book in a monotone so it does make it sometimes make it hard to listen to, but the storyline is amazing and the different accents does make the monotone cease.

Couldn't Finish It
I'm afraid I'm in the minority but I couldn't finish this book for the following reasons:
1. Audio was far too quiet. I'm not sure why this title is radically quieter than all my other audible titles but I had to max the volume in my car and even then couldn't hear it properly.
2. The narrator's voice was boring. Very monotone. Didn't bring the other characters to life at all.
3. Three chapters in and it still hadn't got to the main story arc and I was losing the will to live to be honest.

Snooze Fest!
I had high hopes for this book, but it turned out to be very underwhelming. 1st attempt listening to this book, I fell asleep. 2nd attempt listening to this book, I only made it to chapter 5. 3rd attempt listening to this book, I listened up to chapter 7. I finally forced myself to finish this book only because I dont like leaving books unfinished. The narrator is monotone and speaks low. Even with the volume turned all the way up, it was difficult to hear her. I won't be listening to the other books in this series.
