Dani Martineck

Listeners will love adventuring with Callie, a nonbinary twelve-year-old determined to become a knight. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss Esme Symes-Smith’s audiobook narrated by Dani Martineck with emotion and great energy. Callie lives in a realm with very strict boundaries between genders—only girls study magic, and boys stick to swordplay. Callie forges their own path ahead, with a pinch of magic and a great deal of determination—but a lot stands in their way. Martineck shines in their portrayal of this confident character in the confines of a disapproving world. Young listeners will love hearing this fantasy story where Callie and their new friends triumph, helping make the path ahead better for all.Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website.
