From AudioFile:

Book Six of Colfer's popular series takes the young thief with newfound magical abilities back in time. In the company of his elf friend, Holly, he travels backwards five years in order to prevent his younger self from setting into motion events that would lead to his mother's death. Scottish actor Enn Reitel reads the Irish author's novel with clean precision and perfect timing, giving each of the characters a distinct accent and personality. Reitel plays it straight with Colfer's witty style, giving veracity to a universe in which elves, trolls, and fairies interface with modern technology. The resulting storytelling is engaging and moving for listeners of all ages. S.E.S. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
