The Detective's Dilemma (YA)
Owen LeGrande: Detective ExtraordinaireBy Andrew & Marilyn Parsons
Length1h 44m
About this audiobook
Owen LeGrande's job interview goes from bad to downright impossible when he's yanked into Aethertopia, a magical realm where nothing stays the same. Armed with a wonky compass, a mysterious key, and a voice in his head named Thrix (who's actually real!), Owen discovers he's been chosen to solve crimes that break the very laws of reality. The hooded Unmaker wants to make the entire universe predictable and boring—using Owen's unique brain to do it. Now this rumpled detective must embrace his oddest quirks to save a world where buildings breathe and time runs in circles. Can Owen prove that being different isn't a bug—it's a feature? A whimsical adventure where the impossible becomes perfectly normal!
