Publisher's Summary

This is a story about craft, about work, about magic, and most of all about the pleasure and difficulty of friendship. It begins when four young misfits with a talent for magic (and trouble!) arrive at Winding Circle Temple. Despite their differences, Sandry (the noble), Tris (the merchant girl), Daji (the trader), and Briar (the "street rat") find themselves bound together in a Circle of Magic - a circle they will need when they face crushing danger in a white-knuckle climax that will have listeners glued to the edges of their seats.
Follow the adventures of all the young mages-in-training with Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic series.

Editorial reviews

In the first audiobook of Pierce's Circle of Magic quartet, the mage Niklaren Goldeye gathers four children and takes them to Winding Circle temple. They possess powers they do not understand, which leads to their being moved to Discipline cottage and which may end up making them a family. Full Cast Audio used almost 30 actors in this presentation, and the result is an exceptional match between the voices and the character descriptions, including children's characters being voiced by children. The resulting authenticity helps bring the world of Emelan to life. High production values are also seen in the musical accents and sound quality.

Critic Reviews

"Sandry's Book is a wonderful fantasy story and the Full Cast Audio presentation puts listeners right in the middle of the action." (The Shy Librarian)

Couldn't find the paperback.

Its extra special when characters have different voice actors, it helps make the characters real and personable.

Loved it

This book is lovely and charming, great for adults and kids. I enjoyed all the magic of winding circle and all the characters. It's been one of my favorites for years. I even named my son Moss. Hearing it read to me, especially but Tamora, is priceless <3

it pains me to say it, as I love Tamora Pierce's books, but she's a terrible narrator :(

wooden narrator

Unfortunately, Tamora Pierce's reading is unnatural and robotic. The voice actors peppered throughout are good. But the main voice, read by the author herself sounds like she doesn't understand the words she is reading.
