About this listen

"Readers of all ages will be challenged and enlightened by the author’s sensitive approach to confronting lies, death, and sorrow." (Authors Reading)

To a 10-year-old, death is far from kind: It is imprisonment! To help the living get to their next day, Peter is required to work in the Conservatory, a library where every person is represented by a LifeBook. Turning the pages of LifeBooks is excruciatingly dull, so Peter plots his escape! However, that would ruin Apius’ evil plan to obtain an Ancient Hourglass that controls time. With the hourglass in hand, all of the guarded souls in the LifeBooks could be his, making him unstoppable.

Profile Image for Peter

I’m back!

A great concept for introducing ethics but the dialogue and voiceover for the female voice was distracting, being too nice and condescending. Peter’s anger at Bobby dragged on for a bit too long.
