About this listen

A forest of rusting giants.

A girl who trades time itself.


A discovery that changes everything.


The space elevator was meant to be humanity’s salvation, but now it stands abandoned, surrounded by a forest that is mutating into something deadly.

Trading the mysterious time marbles to survive, Violet and her robotic companion, Jackdaw, seek to find a cure to their dying home.

When she discovers a marble that can freeze time for an entire year, Violet embarks on a journey to unlock its secrets and save the forest. But some truths are buried for a reason – and Violet is about to find out why…

This was an excellent book, wonderfully and clearly narrated. It's the ideal listen for people like the main character: a 12-year-old girl who goes where she pleases and fixes broken machines. But this is enjoyable for all demographics - what starts off as a quaint story about a girl and her robot soon develops through consumate world-building into a story of planetary proportions! Highly recommended.

Fantastic!
