Sidekick Squad Series (book 1)

Emily Woo Zeller’s dynamic narration draws listeners into this story of secret identities and learning to be your own hero. In a not-too-distant future, WWIII and related disasters triggered genetic mutations in some people. Now superheroes fight villains across the North American Collective. Jessica Tran may not have inherited superpowers from her parents, but she has just landed the internship of her dreams—and her crush, Abby, works there, too. Zeller handily switches between a compelling narrative voice and distinctive character voices for Jess and her family and friends. She’s especially successful with the sensational superhero Captain Orion. This audiobook is perfect for anyone seeking adventure in a world where everything may not be as super as it first appears.

FREE -- Spellsinger -- Alan Dean Foster/ full cast -- 8.0 hrs -- fantasy

Spellsinger Series (book 1)

A novel that mixes a colorful and quirky cast (including a Marxist dragon) with music as a form of magic makes for a perfect adaptation into an audiobook. And GraphicAudio adds all the necessary flourishes. Jonathan Merriweather has been transported from his life as a law student into a medieval world of magic, where he unknowingly has great power as a Spellsinger. Terence Aselford doubles as main narrator and director. In the former role, he provides a deep and compelling voice to help listeners navigate this magical world, and in the latter, he pulls the cast, sound effects, and musical score into an enjoyable and lively production.

Week 13 -- Thanks to Tantor Audio and the spot-on performance of Golden Voice narrator Emily Woo Zeller, this week brings the first in C.B. Lee’s sort-of-superhero series “Sidekick Squad.” Get ready to travel in a world kind of like our own, and kind of not, in NOT YOUR SIDEKICK, keeping company with non-superpowered Jessica on her internship at a tech company where her crush happens to work. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Captain Orion, of the Heroes’ League of Heroes! And Zeller does all the voices! Hear her below in her interview on audiobook narration.

A full cast plus abundant ambient sounds bring a partner in listening fun. The opening episode of the “Spellsinger” series, also called SPELLSINGER, by Alan Dean Foster and featuring Terence Aselford, comes to SYNC courtesy of GraphicAudio. Playing on the idea that music is a form of magic, we are plunged—along with law student Jonathan Merriweather—into a past time and place where he’s got magic powers AND the necessary dragon happens to be a Marxist. That's just one of the arch twists listeners can look forward to. You think you know fantasy? Listen up!
