When Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother go digging in the gravel pit, the last thing they expect to find is a Psammead - an ancient Sand-fairy! Having a Sand-fairy for a pet means having one wish granted each day. But the children don't realize all the trouble wishes can cause... The five children find a cantankerous sand fairy, a psammead, in a gravel pit. Every day 'It' will grant each of them a wish that lasts until sunset, often with disastrous consequences.

The story is slow but interesting enough.
I feel sorry for the narrator/reading. She sound young and is trying. The problem is you feel like your in class listening to your teacher reading to you. That combined with the poor audio quality makes this hard to listen to for long times.

The reading makes this painfull

This is a good story, but it is ruined by the horrible audio. The narrator either has an accent or is just hard to understand.

Alrighty then. I couldn't even get through the first minute of the book. Mainly because of the narrator. Her voice is so tiny and she sounds like she is reading while she is in the bathroom.
I will be back later when I get more time to listen and then I will leave a much better (what I feel about the book)
I think that if I did have a few kids it might be a fun listen. But I don't have any.

a bad beginning

This narration is appreciated for jts convenience but this should be free. I wouldn’t have paid for it!
