Piper Green is a girl trying to come to terms with her changing world while living on an island full of quirky characters, like her brother, who pretends to be married (to a piece of paper) with children (who are sticky notes). Potter’s story is ably captured by narrator Gilbert, who creates a young and sweet voice for the first-person narration of Piper. Gilbert gives a unique voice to each character and easily switches between them. Piper’s perfect classmate is voiced high pitchedand prim and, as Piper observes, sounds like someone’s grandma, while the captain of the lobster boat that takes the kids to school has a voice that is both gravelly and jovial. Aside from a peppy tune and nautical sounds at the opening and closing, the performance is free of extraneous sound effects. This simple story of a girl finding ways to accept the changes that life brings will captivate young listeners. Booklist
