Summary

Here are only a few of the wonderful, strange, and mysterious elements in this breathtaking visit to the Kingdoms and Empires: A very proper girl named Lillian Velvet, living a very lonely life with a nasty Grandmother. A jar of coins, each with the power to take Lillian on a journey to a different time and place…and also to grant a single wish. A small boy in a barn about to be crushed to death by a load of hay. A family, each member in mortal danger, who are strangers to Lillian (but whom clever listeners will recognize). And a web of dangerous magic closing tight around all. Who IS this Lillian Velvet? And what is her secret?

Only Jaclyn Moriarty has the ability to make people laugh, even while they grip the sides of their chairs in suspense. In THE SECRET OF LILLIAN VELVET, she is at the height of her storytelling powers, spinning, spinning, spinning seemingly disparate elements until all is revealed as one delicious, tantalizing whole.

Profile Image for PAUL SADOT

Terrible, monotonous reader.

The other 4 books were great and the narrators very good. This is utterly disappointing with a very boring female reader who creates no characters or atmosphere and reads in a monotonous way that encourages one to turn it off! Terrible female narrator and narration. The male narrator by contrast is great. BUT, she is too unbearable to tolerate in order to get to him. Why did they ever allow this woman to ruin it?
