When Andie meets the two children, she realizes the situation is much worse than she feared.

Complicating matters is Andie’s fiancé’s suspicion that this is all a plan by North to get Andie back.

Zoe Guire just talked to an elephant. Well, technically speaking, the elephant spoke to her, but either way it was weird and, as a rule, Zoe doesn't do weird. Except the thing is, when Zoe goes along on her mom's business trip to India, things get very weird, very quickly. Soon after she arrives, Zoe finds herself tagging alongside a kid named Zak, lost in a crazy city, with no money and no way home.

Ghosts don't exist in our world of today. Life is too pragmatic, too consuming, too busy for past lives to linger on longer than their allotted time, or so Halcyon had believed, until she received a letter from a lawyer claiming that her mother, whom she had thought long dead, had actually been living in another part of the country since Halcyon's early childhood. She had only recently passed away, leaving Halcyon heir to an unexpected fortune and an estate on an isolated island in the middle of the Great Lakes.

"Buy my stepfather's ghost, read the e-mail." So Jude did. He bought it, in the shape of the dead man's suit, delivered in a heart-shaped box, because he wanted it - because his fans ate up that kind of story. It was perfect for his collection: the genuine skulls and the bones, the real honest-to-God snuff movie, the occult books, and all the rest of the paraphernalia that goes along with his kind of hard/goth rock.

When the doors of the lift crank open, the only thing Thomas remembers is his first name. But he's not alone. He's surrounded by boys who welcome him to the Glade - a walled encampment at the centre of a bizarre and terrible stone maze. Like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they came to be there - or what's happened to the world outside. All they know is that every morning when the walls slide back, they will risk everything - even the Grievers, half-machine, half-animal horror that patrol its corridors, to try and find out.

The house looked right, felt right to Dr Louis Creed. Rambling, old, unsmart and comfortable. A place where the family could settle, the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seemed a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago. Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway, grinding up through the gears, hammering down the long gradients, growled out an intrusive threat. But behind the house and far away from the road: that was safe.

Summary
Exclusively on Audible. A Full-Cast Original Audio Drama for Ages 10 and Up.
"For a small, pretty town, we are surprisingly good at providing the unusual, the unexpected, the uncanny...."
Moving from the big city to the picturesque town of Sunnypoint seems perfect for Dillon and her mom. But the new house - a big, old Victorian - creeps Dillon out, especially the old trunk in the attic that seems to move by itself. As if that weren't bad enough, the tight-knit popular girls at her new school hate her instantly. Dillon finds solace with the quirky kids - Quinn, the film nerd, Birdie, the back-of-the-class wit, and Kumail, the history fanatic. Together they find a mysterious necklace in the trunk, and when Dillon wears it, all of her wishes seem to come true. For once the power may have shifted in her favor.
When one of Dillon's wishes is taken too literally, though, Quinn disappears, and she can't seem to wish him back. And her mom is suddenly acting super weird. Digging into the history of the house and its original owner, the kids decide maybe it's time to explore some darker magic to find Quinn. To undo what they have unleashed, they will have to delve into the deepest, darkest secrets of Sunnypoint - and face the lurking evil head on.
Welcome to Sunnypoint. Hope you enjoy your visit.

Will definitely be getting Book 2
Okay my kids haven’t listened to this yet, but I have - was just too curious about it.
I bought this to entertain my children during car journeys and the story+script, which is easy to follow, will definitely appeal and keep them absorb until we arrive somewhere. It’s not perfect, mainly the acting, but it does improve as the story evolves.
Will definitely be getting Book 2.
Split into 12 episodes varying between 15-20 minutes each.

Creepy and fun!
This is more like an old timey radio play than a traditional audio book, with a full cast and sound effects. It's broken up into 12 parts, but each one has a cliffhanger so you'll definitely want to binge it. It's for kids, and it's creepy--no spoilers, but ghosts and other supernatural stuff makes this a great Halloween listen.

Scary Old Time Radio Fun
I purchased this for a soon to visit 10 year old nephew who loves scary books and thought it would be something he would enjoy. I was right: he loved it and so did I! He listened to it twice during his visit and told me he can't wait for the next installment.
For myself, this harkens back to the radio programs of the 40's and 50's. Excellent story, very good production values and mostly all the performances are spot on. Like my nephew, I am looking forward to Volume 2!

Super entertaining...even for adults
I chose this knowing it was made for children, but I really enjoyed it! I love the style of this audiobook. It's like watching a movie with your eyes closed. There are tons of sound effects and music to help fill in what's going on. I was never confused who was talking, or where the scene was taking place. I wish all audiobooks could have a narrator for every voice.
I can't speak to how entertaining this would be for a child. It might be a little creepy for younger children (I would have been scared, but I was a chicken). Listening to this as an adult, I did roll my eyes at some of the dialogue, but it was fitting considering the intended audience. I think story is good, but the real reason to get this audiobook is for the unique listening experience. Please make more like this, Audible!

A new series begins
The Sunnypoint Chronicles is an interesting premise, albeit one that is quite familiar. New girl and her recently divorced mother move to a new town and buy a spooky old house. The heroine here, Dillon, the daughter, tries to make friends at school with mixed results. She clashes with a couple mean girls but finds a few friends as well. Oh, did I mention her home is haunted by the original owner, a rather unpleasant spiritualist from about a century back?
Things go rather predictably off kilter when the "house" gives Dillon a wish granting necklace.
This is all fine, if familiar ground. l believe this is a great book for middle grades. A bit spooky but not really horrific. The characters spend equal time worrying about fitting in at school as they do about friends and family being possessed by the dead.
I had hoped for a bit more sophistication, but I am hardly the target audience. The full cast performance was nice and moved the story along briskly. The ending makes it very clear that this is only the first installment in this new series. I don't think I will be continuing with the series, but I do think it is very good for the target age group.

Difficulty differentiating among the characters
Although the full cast used different actors, names of the characters were used less frequently than I would have liked to be able to tell them apart when two girls were talking to each other.

Make Volume 2 Already!
It's been almost 3 years. Was isn't there a 2nd volume yet? If Audible canceled this series it'd been nice if they said something. Its a pretty good series... a little cheesy but I enjoyed it. I'm only writing this review to complain about the lack of a follow up.

Great Young Adult Urban Fantasy
Any additional comments?
I'm always on the lookout to try out audiobooks with a full cast of narrators. This one was great! It is like listening to a radio drama. The narrators did a wonderful job of making the characters and story come to life.
I would label this as a Young Adult Urban Fantasy but it's a solid story that can appeal to anyone that wants to listen to an engaging adventure story with an eerie twist. The story is complete within this book and you're left with a little bit of a teaser for what may happen next.
I will definitely keep an eye out for the next audiobook. Great performance and solid story that kept me engaged from the start to finish.
