As of February 2015, I have only listened to A Snicker of Magic by Natalie Lloyd which I found utterly delightful. I happily shared it with young patrons who were looking for a sweet read (or listen). I'll have to put these other titles on my to-listen list. Have you had a chance to listen to any of the 2015 Odyssey Award books? Let me know your thoughts!
