The Eighth Day

By: Dianne K. Salerni

Narrated by: Christopher Carley

Fans of Percy Jackson will devour this first audiobook in Dianne K. Salerni's time-bending series that combines exciting magic and pulse-pounding suspense. In this riveting fantasy adventure, 13-year-old Jax Aubrey discovers a secret eighth day with roots tracing back to Arthurian legend.

When Jax wakes up to a world without any people in it, he assumes it's the zombie apocalypse. But when he runs into his 18-year-old guardian, Riley Pendare, he learns that he's really in the eighth day - an extra day sandwiched between Wednesday and Thursday. Some people - like Jax and Riley - are Transitioners, able to live in all eight days, while others, including Evangeline, the elusive teenage girl who's been hiding in the house next door, exist only on this special day.

And there's a reason Evangeline's hiding. She is a descendant of the powerful wizard Merlin, and there is a group of people who wish to use her in order to destroy the normal seven-day world and all who live in it. Torn between protecting his new friend and saving the entire human race from complete destruction, Jax is faced with an impossible choice. Even with an eighth day, time is running out.

Inclusive of all the good old tales and modern

Overall the plot is strong, I believe the main character is not doing enough. The narrotor did a decent job to make everything distinguished and exciting.

Non-Stop Adventure

This book is listed as a middle grade book, but I loved it. Definitely one I recommend to my nephews or grand-daughter. But also one I would recommend to my adult friends as well. The book blurb sums up the premise pretty well. Non-stop adventure drawing from King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Loved this book and have already started the next in the series.

I chose this book because I recently listened to another book narrated by Christopher Carley. That particular author only wrote two books (which I LOVED), so rather than finding something else from him, I decided to search books read by this narrator. He did not disappoint. This is a book you can listen to with your kids.
