Out of Abaton, Book 2 Lord of Monsters

by John Claude Bemis Narrated by Ralph Lister

Overview

Pinocchio can't believe the Moonlit Court is his home! With royal banquets, a regal wardrobe, and a whole new set of rules, Pinocchio has a lot to adjust to in his new life as prester alongside Princess Lazuli.

But before they can get comfortable in their thrones, a fancy dinner at the palace is interrupted by an unwelcome guest-a monster! And this isn't just any monster; it's a manticore, a beast that was imprisoned centuries earlier. Desperate to locate the prison and make sure none of its other monsters were able to escape, Lazuli, Pinocchio, and their Celestial Brigade set out to save Abaton from these ancient beings.

Their journey requires intelligence, strength, and a dash of the magic only presters control. But when Pinocchio tries to use his powers, they have an unintended effect: he is turning back into a wooden automa. And if he's not careful, he may lose his human form forever.

The second book in the Out of Abaton series continues John Claude Bemis's reimagining of Pinocchio in an action-packed adventure that celebrates friendship, tolerance, and the power of being yourself.

Editorial Reviews

NOVEMBER 2017 - AudioFile

Ralph Lister returns for his second narration of this series. Listeners now find Pinocchio and Princess Lazuli adjusting to life as “presters” in the Moonlit Court. Just as things are looking up for their kingdom, a monster appears to challenge their rule and the strength of their magic. Lister’s storytelling is accompanied by sound effects and short musical passages, new elements that enhance the listening experience. Though a few sound effects overpower some of the dialogue, most add a fascinating new dimension to old and new characters. This production is sure to delight listeners of all ages.
