Catchpenny

Still reeling 20 years later from his wife’s mysterious death, supernatural thief Sid Catchpenny must drag himself out of his depression to find a missing teenager. Lost somewhere between reality and a magical world where nothing is as it seems, this girl is the key to keeping the world intact. Sid, along with other mojo (a kind of magical currency) users, can use mirrors as conduits into other realms. Now, he finds himself caught up in a dangerous underworld, where power-hungry mojo users steal and sell mojo-laden objects. Everyone seems to know a secret, but Sid has remained in the dark. Is he a hero or a villain? This audiobook is beautifully read by narrator Pete Cross, who infuses the main character’s voice with relatability, realism, and warmth. Sid’s self-effacing humor and glib repartee flow naturally. Cross’s subtle changes to inflection and accent allow listeners to easily distinguish the large cast of characters.
