Synopsis: This is an unabridged recording of Tangled Fortunes.
Jackson Fortune, one of the Fortune cousins, is puzzled by several things. Someone is leaving him mysterious clues, possibly related to his love of mkaing music, especially by making loud noises. His best friend and sister, Tracey, is acting strangely. And finally, there seems to be a stranger luring around their neighborhood.
Jackson and his friends investigate these changes, and change themselves in this short, charming slice of life.
Full Review: A pleasant, warm children's story, this one is suitable for younger audiences, but unlike some of Mahy's other books is missing the bite of a supernatural mystery and wonder.
Overall: 5; Plot: 4.5; Characters: 5.5; Style: 6.5; World-building: 5; Originality: 5;
