Kyla Garcia returns to narrate the second book in the Love Sugar Magic series. Spirits are running loose through town, and Leo and her family must round them up and send them back behind the veil. Garcia’s reading sparkles with energy and fun—from the warm tones and Hispanic accents of the adults and the fast-talking Spanish of the spirits to the Texas accents of Leo’s school friends, the unmistakably teenaged voices of Leo’s older sisters, and the more childlike voice of Leo herself. Comic timing heightens the humor of this magical caper as Leo gains confidence in her large family of brujas. Listeners new to the series will be just as delighted as established fans, and an epilogue sets up the next audiobook in the series. S.C. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
