The Jumbies by Tracey Baptiste
4.0

Some stories should be read, but others should be told.

This story should be heard.

I first tried to read this book over a year ago and found it very difficult to enjoy. I *wanted* to enjoy it, but it just wasn't happening, so I gave up on it.

Today, I came across the audiobook narrated by Robin Miles and thought I would give it another shot - and I am so glad that I did!

Where reading the story myself felt awkward and chore-like, listening to Miles was the complete opposite. Her narration was lyrical and inviting. I was instantly captivated by her performance and the story.

As such, I highly recommend the audiobook version of this book.
