I will always prefer reading a book to having it narrated. The sample is wonderful, the review promises even more.

"Strong Heart" by Charlie Sheldon. A mystical, magical story book. Talks about a thirteen year old girl called Sarah. Having been homeless for a long time before Tom her grandfather later knew that she exists. I love the story it has a kind of adventures part. Congrats on BOTD.

This book provides me with the first experience of reading an audiobook. Furthermore, the storyline is a hook for me. I congratulate the author on being the book of the day!

The book ticks many boxes: science, legends, mysticism, and exploration of family ties. Moreover, Sarah's disappearance is surrounded by mystery, so I'm willing to give this novel a try. Thanks for your review!

I am among those who old fashionably prefers "reading the book rather than listening to the audible version", because in my opinion it is the part of the appeal. Especially when you find such interesting story which requires thoughtful contemplation and immersion. Unsuitable voice will only mess up the impressions.

Hi! Thank you so much for writing up this review! I appreciate how you listed things that were both positive and negative, it helped me get more insight as to how i might feel about the audiobook in terms of my personal taste, despite you giving it a 4 out of 4. It was really cool to see your perspective on the drive of the story line and I am definitely interested in potentially checking out this book once I finish my current one!

Sarah's disappearance is magical considering that she has seen a Bear considered to be extinct. The review is well written and I'm interested in reading this book. Thanks for the review.

Very cool, mysterious novel involving themes of family and Native mysticism. The premise of the story sounds promising but the audible version of the book is lackluster. Regardless, I'm curious to know what happens to Sarah after her disappearance. Congrats on the BOTD!

I like that the book combines elements of native mysticism, science, and research into family relationships. It is also commendable that the plot of the book is strong and authentic.

I myself prefer reading over listening, but the story of the mysterious granddaughter does sound intriguing enough to give this a try. Thank you for the great review.

Good review! I read the sample and was having trouble figuring out how Tom, Myra and William were connected. You cleared that right up. Sarah sounds like she'd be an interesting person to know. I suppose any story where a character has to believe in herself because no one else will is magical, but it's nice to know that this story is magical in other ways, too.
