The Wells Bequest

fullDescription

Leo never imagined that time travel might really be possible, or that the objects in H. G. Wells' novels might actually exist. And when a miniature time machine appears in Leo's bedroom, he has no idea who the tiny, beautiful girl is riding it. But in the few moments before it vanishes, he recognizes the other tiny rider: himself! His search for the time machine leads him to the New York Circulating Material Repository, a magical library that lends out objects instead of books. Hidden away in the Repository basement is the Wells Bequest, a collection of powerful objects straight out of science fiction novels. And when Leo's adventure of a lifetime suddenly turns deadly, he must journey to 1895 to warn scientist Nikola Tesla about a dangerous invention.

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: This companion to THE GRIMM LEGACY focuses again on the New York Circulating Material Repository--but this time dealing with the science fiction of H. G. Wells, particularly a certain time machine. Johnny Heller does an adequate job of reading Leo's story as he enters this magical world and meets the mysterious library page, Jaya. As Leo changes from an uncertain student into an adventurer who attempts to save New York from destruction, Heller adopts a more confident tone. However, his calm voice doesn't quite do justice to the humorous and magical aspects of the story. Listeners new to Shulman may want to begin with THE GRIMM LEGACY. E.N.

     September 30, 2013
     After a time machine appears in his bedroom, a boy named Leo discovers that it is possible to rent any mystical or magical object, tool, or weapon from any science fiction novel ever written at a place called the New-York Circulating Material Repository. Seasoned narrator Johnny Heller delivers an absolutely thrilling performance of this spirited novel from Shulman. Heller’s exuberance and boyhood tenacity are perfect for the role of Leo, who’s imagination runs rampant and often gets him into trouble. Heller’s youthful tone makes the impossible seem possible and the unlikely more than likely to happen at some point, in the spirit of Shulman’s narrative. This keeps listeners on their toes as the plot shifts back and forth, through space and time, and everywhere in between. Ages 10–up. A Nancy Paulsen hardcover.
