Sara Stanley is only fourteen, but she can weave tales that are impossible to resist. In the picturesque town of Carlisle, children and grown-ups alike flock from miles around to hear her spellbinding tales.

When Bev and Felix, two city boys, are sent to Carlisle for the summer, they are captivated by this very different rural island and by Sara Stanley, the Story Girl. Their vacation becomes a time for magic and mischief as they spend their days with Sara and the eccentric local people, with a mysterious blue treasure chest and intrepid cat, and experience an ordeal that may cost a friend his life.

But woven through the sunlit days and starry seaside nights is another kind of enchantment as well—one spun by the tales of the talented Story Girl. She tells tales of love and death, good and evil, and wondrous times and lands that exist only in the imagination. Like all stories written by L. M. Montgomery, these are timeless stories that live forever in our hearts.

      Sent to live with their extended family, Bev and his brother Felix make friends with the children from the surrounding area, including the story girl whose talent for telling stories is famous throughout the community. While Conlin's voice fits the role of the story girl, she doesn't fill out the voices of other characters. Often during the long narratives, Conlin lets her voice fall off at the end of sentences, endangering the listener's attention. The gradual quieting of her already soft voice gives the reading a monotonous effect. Conlin best performs the stories the story girl tells; in these her voice and demeanor come alive with natural enthusiasm. For fans of Montgomery's books, however, the few flaws will be easily tolerated. P.A.J. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
