The Talking Earth

By: Jean Craighead George

Narrated by: Roslyn Alexander

Billie Wind lives with her Seminole tribe. She follows their customs, but the dangers of pollution and nuclear war she's learned about in school seem much more real to her. How can she believe the Seminole legends about talking animals and earth spirits? She wants answers, not legends. "You are a doubter," say the men of the Seminole Council; and so Billie goes out into the Everglades alone, to stay until she can believe.

In the wilderness, she discovers that she must listen to the land and animals in order to survive. With an otter, a panther cub, and a turtle as companions and guides, she begins to understand that the world of her people can give her the answers she seeks.

The hurricane

It was kind of boring at the start, but got a lot better more to the end. This book is really good. Overall, I definitely suggest.

It’s like I’m Watching a Movie!

Very descriptive. I’m sure you have seen many reviews like this, but this book is truly one of the most visually understanding books I have read. The story is well put together too. Would recommend reading this book!

Chapters are out of order

The book is excellent. The reader does a fine job. Unfortunately chapter 3 is cut off with its remainder in chapter 4. Causing great confusion for listeners. Whoever uploaded this book needs to take another listen and make some adjustments.

MISSING PAGES

What disappointed you about The Talking Earth?

I bought this book for my son who is reading this for school. He has some reading processing issues and the doctor suggested that I buy the audiobook for him to follow as he reads it from the paper version. HOWEVER--this is not an unabridged version as advertised. In chapter three it skips about 20 pages and goes right into chapter 4.
VERY DISAPPOINTED
