About this listen

An enchanted ring, a missing friend, and an evil sea queen. A pause-resisting time travel adventure for children aged seven to nine. Enjoyed by young readers/listeners across the world.

When Quinn accidentally banishes his friend Maggie to an unknown realm, the team are mystified as to how to rescue her. Where did she go? And how will they uncover the secret trail?

This audiobook is brought to life by the amazing narration skills of Karen Ascoe, an accomplished actress who has appeared frequently on stage and TV. Her roles in Coronation Street, EastEnders, and Emmerdale make her familiar to many, as well as her voice over work on hit games like The Hitman and Spellforce.

A quest to solve the riddle in this puzzling adventure, leads to a secret passageway hidden deep in the library on the trail of a disappearing island. Who are the strange merfolk they meet who seem to be bewitched? How can they hope to locate the stolen ring? Where has Maggie been trapped?

The team need all of their magical skills and bravery to time travel through portals to new parts of the world. They make both friends and enemies and uncover a startling undersea world.

A modern children’s classic.

The Shanty Realm has been described as a roller coaster of a story, with unexpected twists and turns which leaves you gasping for more. Popular children's author AR Hetherington describes it as the kind of story that she loved to read as a child, a thrilling and fantastical epic adventure brought right up to date. Comparisons have been made between this series and works by other much loved popular children's writers such as Enid Blyton, Karen Inglis, Andy Shepherd, P.J. Nichols, and Tom Fletcher.
