Acerca de esta escucha
For as long as the Vickery twins can remember, they’ve only ever been able to leave the house together once a year, on Halloween. The rest of the year, Lee and his mother serve Memory while Felix and his father assist Death. This is the Agreement.
But one Halloween, Gretchen Whipple smashes her way into their lives. Her bargain is simple: If the twins help her solve the murder of local girl Essie Hasting, she’ll help them break the Agreement. The more the three investigate, however, the more they realize that something’s gone terribly wrong in their town. Death is on the loose, and if history repeats itself, Essie’s might not be the last murder in Poplar Wood.
Simultaneously heartwarming and delightfully spooky, The House in Poplar Wood is the story about a boy’s desire to be free, a girl’s desire to make a difference, and a family’s desire to be together again.

Historia
When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm the land.

Historia
Eleven-year-old Alex Petroski loves space and rockets, his mom, his brother, and his dog, Carl Sagan - named for his hero, the real-life astronomer.

From Colorado to New Mexico, Las Vegas to LA, Alex records a journey on his iPod to show other lifeforms what life on Earth, his Earth, is like.

Romania, 1989. Communist regimes are crumbling across Europe. Seventeen-year-old Cristian Florescu dreams of becoming a writer, but Romanians aren’t free to dream; they are bound by rules and force. Amidst the tyrannical dictatorship of Nicolae Ceaușescu in a country governed by isolation and fear, Cristian is blackmailed by the secret police to become an informer. He’s left with only two choices: betray everyone and everything he loves—or use his position to creatively undermine the most notoriously evil dictator in Eastern Europe.

For as long as Lottie Fiske can remember, the only people who seem to care about her have been her best friend, Eliot, and the mysterious letter-writer who sends her birthday gifts. But now strange things and people are arriving on the island Lottie calls home, and Eliot's getting sicker, with a disease the doctors have given up trying to cure. Lottie is helpless, useless, powerless. And then a door opens in the apple tree. A door to another world - a world of magic both treacherous and beautiful - where Lottie seeks a cure for the incurable, a use for the useless, and protection against the pain of loss.

Unique and Captivating Story
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book starts out on Halloween -- but this is not a Halloween book per se and you can enjoy it anytime of year -- and you should. While this book is geared towards YA, I think it can be enjoyed by adults as well.
It is a really unique story about twin boys who are forced to live in the same house with their parents but, their Mother and Father can't see each other and the twin boys only see each other on Halloween all because their parents wrongfully fell in love and were punished by the Shades. The boys know that as their parents work for the Shades, they too, much to their chagrin, are expected to work for the Shades. So, when Elsie, who works for Passion, is murdered and Mayor Whipple is covering it up - his daughter Gretchen wants to know why. As she investigates, she becomes involved with the twins. Was Elsie murdered? If so, why is Mayor Whipple covering it all up? Can the twins unite with their parents?
This is a unique story which captivated me from the beginning. The murder mystery, use of magic, and the Shades all existing in a small community really held my attention and I did not want to put it down.
The narrator, Brian Holden, did a fantastic job. His narration added to the story and the mystique.

Wrong target audience
I received a copy of this in exchange for an honest review. Sorry for the low rating, but I’m not the right audience for this genre or age group of a book, so the story made no sense to me.
The narrator did a great job and read the story well. I may enjoy more by this narrator , but not more of this genre. I don’t do Fantasy , am a much older reader than this would target , so please consider that when purchasing.

Excellent performance of a poetic book
This book was lovely all the way through. I loved Brian Holden's understated accents- We know we're in Kentucky but we aren't punched in the face with the fact- (being from the South I appreciated a more accurate drawl). I also loved that he didn't take away from the story by being overly dramatic. He lets the story lead and has memorable character voices.
The story is a fantastic look at challenging expectations and the status quo. I loved the partnerships, the imagery, and the characters. Definitely a unique world built by K E Ormsbee!

Original, fun story
This is the first book I’ve read/listened to by this author and I would listen to another.
I think this book was nicely done. It’s a cute, not scary tale. In this world, every town has its Shades- Memory, Death and Passion and the town’s Summoner. There is, something unusual going on in this town and it starts with the ‘Agreement’ with the Vickerys. It’s not the only one however. The boys are automatically apprentices to the Shades and they’re not happy about it. After a girl dies under suspicious circumstances, Gretchen is determined to find out what happened and asks the boys to help her. And in exchange, she’ll help them. They learn a lot more than bargained for.
This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Brian Holden ) and I would listen to another. He does well individualizing the characters and performing the story. His kids voices are natural. He speaks clearly but a little slower, so I had no issues increasing the listening speed to 1.75x. (I usually increase to 1.5x).
There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing. Definitely appropriate for 8-10 year olds and older.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this unbiased review.
Please feel free to comment on whether you found my review helpful.

Original mythology in a small town setting
This book is a wonderfully original mythology set in a small community. Given that the material can sometimes be dark (for example, Death is a character), the author finds a way to balance the macabre with bright, compelling characters and a through line of love (both romantic and familial). It’s also a page-turning mystery, which is why I finished this audiobook in only 3 days!
Brian Holden is a fantastic narrator. I could listen to him read the dictionary and I’d be on the edge of my seat. He makes the story even more compelling through his dynamic narration and handles the character voices with believable and consistent choices.
For anyone who is a fan of original mythologies, small town settings with compelling characters, and mysteries (Neil Gaiman fans!) this a must-read!

Excellent read!
Absolutely loved this book! Great world building, nice quirky characters that never bore me. The way the story was unfolded left me very satisfied and I loved the ending. I had bought this for Brian's narrating and he more than delivered on my expectations. I will give this a relisten asap!

Very entertaining
This was an interesting book. A family lives in Poplar Wood, the house divided into two sections. A father and his son live on one side and serve Death; a mother and her son live on the other side and serves Memory. Only the boys can see each other. The mother can't see the man and the boy, and the father can't see the mother and the boy. The boys are able to see the adult they live with.
Down in the town, no one knows the boy who serves Death, he doesn't go to school. The two boys, Lee and Felix are trying to change the situation they are in, created by Death and Memory as an Agreement because the man and woman, their apprentices, fell in love.
In the town, we learn of a young girl, daughter of the mayor. This family are Summoners. The young girl, Gretchen, is trying to solve the mystery of the death of a classmate, Essie, and railing against being the second born child, thus, supposedly, having no chance of being a Summoner herself.
Can these three unlikely cohorts learn what is going on in their town and stop it and at the same time break the Agreement so a family can be a family?
