Joseph Elliott is a British writer and actor known for his work in children's television. His commitment to serving children with special needs was instilled at a young age: his mother is a teacher trained in special needs education, and his parents provided respite foster care for children with additional needs. He has worked at a recreational center for children with learning disabilities and as a teaching assistant at Westminster Special Schools. A heroine of this trilogy was inspired by the many incredible children he has worked with, especially those with Down syndrome.
"As Jaime, [Gary] Furlong pauses in the perfect places to accentuate the character's lack of confidence. [Nina] Yndis's Sigrid does not speak the native language well; her dialogue is broken and convoluted, while her internal dialogue is clear. [Fiona] Hardingham's Agatha, a fearless animal whisperer with Down syndrome, is the featured character. Hardingham captures her brave spirit in her internal dialogue and her halting speaking pattern when she speaks aloud. Each cast member expertly mimics the styles of the other narrators. All this makes for an immersive and emotional audiobook experience for listeners of all ages." --AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award Winner"A trilogy closer that gives all the characters chances to grow and shine." --Kirkus Reviews
