About this listen

This is the first book in a spellbinding fantasy adventure series so believable you may wonder if it's happening in your own backyard.

"As Arlo looked around, the walls of his room began to vanish, revealing a moonlit forest. Only his bed remained and the frame of his window, through which he saw the girl. The world on her side of the glass was sparkling with silver and gold, like a palace made of autumn leaves. She looked off to her right. Someone was coming. Her words came in an urgent whisper: 'If I can see you, they can see you. You're in danger. Be careful, Arlo Finch.'"

Arlo Finch is a newcomer to Pine Mountain, Colorado, a tiny town of mystery and magic, but he has already attracted the attention of dark and ancient forces. At first he thinks these increasingly strange and frightening occurrences are just part of being in Rangers, the mountain scouting troop where he learns how to harness the wild magic seeping in from the mysterious Long Woods. But soon Arlo finds himself at the center of a dangerous adventure, where he faces obstacles that test the foundations of the Ranger's Vow: Loyalty, Bravery, Kindness, and Truth.

I loved this book - would have adored it as a kid and ate it up as a 27 year old. It kept me totally distracted on a long flight and car journey. Can't wait for the next one.

Perfect for a car journey or plane ride!

Very entertaining. I wasn't sure at first from the description of the story but it is amazing. And could only be made better by some mood music throughout to set some scenes.

Great story looking forward to more...

And this is it! I've never been so excited to listen to an audio book since the Mistborn series. This story is about friendship, hope, love, faith and a magical world of pine mountain/The Long Woods. It left me wanting to hear more and for the journey to never end. Thankfully there's two more in this series and hopefully John August will continue to build upon it.

Every so often a great book comes along
