Toothiana

by William Joyce Narrated by Gerard Doyle

Overview

Beware a tooth fairy queen scorned in this, the third chapter book of Academy Award winner William Joyce's The Guardians series. There's a lot more to this tooth-swiping sprite than meets the eye!

When last we heard, the Guardians were resting easy with the knowledge that the children of Santoff Clausen were finally safe from Pitch's dastardly plans.

But is it all a ruse, a scheme, a lull the evil Nightmare King has deviously concocted?

Whatever Pitch's plans, what he doesn't know is that there's a new Guardian in town, and she's not the type to forget old grudges. Actually, she's not the type to forget anything-because this Guardian is none other than Toothiana, the Tooth Fairy herself. She's fierce and fast and crossing her will lead to a multitude of troubles. And, it turns out that, well, all those teeth she has been collecting? They contain memories. The forgotten memories of childhood...including the memories of how to fly. Young Katherine is hopeful that these memories might help her to remember her parents. The Guardians hope they'll offer even further protection from Pitch.

You can see how this information would be invaluable to our heroes. But it could also be invaluable to Pitch...

Editorial Reviews

NOVEMBER 2012 - AudioFile

Believe, believe, believe.” Not since THE POLAR EXPRESS have we had such an opportunity to believe in the mythological characters of childhood—the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and Santa. With Gerard Doyle’s captivating telling, we do envision Queen Toothiana, E. Aster Bunnymund, and Nicholas St. North through Joyce’s glorious imagination. Doyle makes just the right choices with restrained but distinct character voices—the narrative is never overshadowed by these larger- (or smaller-) than-life creatures. His perceptive timing and emphasis are gifts to the listener. The wordplay is delicious, and the whole audio experience will send families to Joyce’s illustrated books—while keeping Doyle’s narrations as companions. (And the fall animated film RISE OF THE GUARDIANS will bring more fans.) R.F.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
