Publisher's summary

Strange new talents....

Jake is a scrappy orphaned pickpocket living by his wits on the streets of Victorian London. Lately he’s started seeing ghosts and discovers he can move solid objects with his mind! He has no idea why. Next thing he knows, a Sinister Gentleman and his minions come hunting him. On the run for his life, Jake is plunged headlong into a mysterious world full of magic and deadly peril. A world that holds the secret to who he really is: the long-lost heir of an aristocratic family - with magical powers!

But with treacherous enemies closing in, it will take all of his wily street instincts and the help of his friends - both human and magical - to solve the mystery of what happened to his parents, and defeat the foes who never wanted the Lost Heir of Griffon to be found....

Great beginning to a wonderful series

This book (and the whole series) has everything you want in youth fantasy: mythical creatures, kid heroes, villains, adventure, friendships, laughter. The narrator is perfect. So wonderful to have a fantasy series for kids without profanity or anything inappropriate. Of course, I’m an adult, and I love these stories!

Great story

The reading was alittle fast paced but the story was well written and the characters were well played. Great book for cross country road trips.

While a fantasy, there was a real world feel.

It had elements of Harry Potter and Oliver Twist, interestingly, and whike yet another coming of age story, the hero characters are sympathetic and the story elements straightforward and simple. It's just a nice pleasant story that leaves you wanting more.

Awesome Magical Medieval Adventure

I really liked this audio book. It's perfect to listen to in the car with kids- or just by yourself! (Like I did!) It's probably one of the best 'kid friendly' books I've listened to in quite awhile. While I liked Jake, I loved Dani. She was such a great, driving element in the story line.

The narrator did a wonderful job- I love his ability to go from 'villain' to 'cocky village street kid' to ' noble matriarch' to 'hyperactive young genius.'

I noticed some reviews made comparisons to Harry Potter. This book doesn't rely much on the same elements. The only real commonalities were that they both take place in England and our hero is a young man who can perform magic. Don’t compare them.

I was provided this audio book at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.

An enjoyable time passer

I enjoyed listening to this book. They built some enjoyable characters and a fun setting. There were a couple of times I think it took the Lord's name in vain which I didn't appreciate in a young adult book but I might have misheard. Besides that I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to the next one.

Delightful!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Lost Heir to be better than the print version?

Not really, but I rarely can sit down to read and this narrator was phenomenal!

What does Jamie du Pont MacKenzie bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The accent!

Any additional comments?

Wonderful story that was enjoyable from start to finish. I recommend the entire series, which will hopefully include some more volumes!
