From AudioFile

Setting off on a quest to save her dying mother, Rage Winnoway takes her four dogs and a goat into the magical land of Valley. Her friends transmutate into more human-like creatures as they search the magical world to find the lost wizard who created it. Rebecca Macauley juggles several animated and distinct voices among the main cast and implements an interesting range of voices for the magical creatures of Valley. Macauley completely embodies Rage when speaking her parts (especially when she faces hardships and challenges) and easily transitions to narrative. Macauley's energy throughout this audiobook lures in listeners and guarantees enjoyment from beginning to end.
