The Language of Seabirds

By: Will Taylor

Narrated by: Michael Crouch

A sweet, tender middle-grade story of two boys finding first love with each other over a seaside summer.

Jeremy is not excited about the prospect of spending the summer with his dad and his uncle in a seaside cabin in Oregon. It's the first summer after his parents' divorce, and he hasn't exactly been seeking alone time with his dad. He doesn't have a choice, though, so he goes... and on his first day takes a walk on the beach and finds himself intrigued by a boy his age running by. Eventually, he and Runner Boy (Evan) meet -- and what starts out as friendship blooms into something neither boy is expecting... and also something both boys have been secretly hoping for.

5 stars

I would recommend this five star book narrated as a great job kept my interest did not cry, but a good story

Well written

Sweet, simple teenage love story expressed through the eyes of teenage boys. Narrator was clear and clear with the right emotion at right time.

Almost a huge mistake

I can’t remember buying this title, and a few days ago, when I started listening to it, I began wondering what possessed me to even give it a try. It turns out to be about two 12-year-olds. So of course I tried to return it. Why would I possibly want to listen to a kids story? But I apparently bought the book during a sale and could not get my credit back. Angry but unwilling to waste my money, I decided to listen to it at least for the hour it takes me to get to work. In that time the author began to sweep me away. Everything — the story, writing, voice acting — was stunningly beautiful, just pitch perfect. I felt like I was growing up all over again, and it was wonderful.

michael crouch delivers again!

for 8-9 years i have found myself listening to LGBT audio books narrated by Michael Crouch, and so at 25 I sought out another one and it did not disappoint. beautiful imagery and a beautiful story about a young boy falling in love while navigating a strained parent relationship. i cant recommend this book enough to everyone
