Narrated by Audie Award winner Bahni Turpin. Bahni Turpin, Audie Award winner and Audible Narrator Hall of Fame inductee, has voiced some of the biggest young adult audiobooks of the past decade, including The Hate U Give, Children of Blood and Bone, and The Underground Railroad. In Sophia Sprite and the Sasquatch Secret she gives us a grieving fourteen-year-old, a bad-tempered leprechaun, a seven-foot Northborn warrior, and a villain who has been waiting sixty thousand years. Nine hours and thirty-nine minutes, unabridged. Fourteen-year-old Sophia Sprite’s world ended the day her parents died. Sent to live with her eccentric grandfather in Elwha, Washington, the man the whole town calls the “crazy Bigfoot guy,” she expects nothing but loneliness and grief. Then she finds the trunk in the attic. Hidden among her mother’s things are objects that shouldn’t exist: a cloak that bends light around the wearer, boots made for terrain no human has ever mapped, a whistle tuned to a frequency only certain beings can hear. Her mother led a secret life as a bridge between humanity and the Northborn, an ancient species of intelligent hominids hidden beneath the earth for sixty thousand years. And she didn’t die in an accident. She was murdered. As Sophia ventures into the underground world her mother devoted her life to protecting, she uncovers a conspiracy that threatens both species. Kragorth, a Northborn elder consumed by hatred for humanity, has spent millennia preparing a weapon that will do worse than kill humans. It will drive them to destroy themselves, and no one will ever know the Northborn were involved. Sophia’s mother got too close to exposing him. Now Sophia is walking the same dangerous path, and Kragorth has noticed. With the help of a gruff leprechaun carrying four hundred years of grief, a Northborn warrior who loved her mother like a sister, a sarcastic hybrid who belongs fully to neither world, and two human friends brave enough to follow her into the impossible, Sophia must do what her mother couldn’t: bring the truth to light before it’s too late. Perfect for fans of Rick Riordan’s mythological adventures, cryptid fiction and Bigfoot legends, found family, and heroes who are scared but brave anyway. Sophia Sprite and the Sasquatch Secret is a YA adventure about grief, courage, and the radical act of choosing hope over hatred. Cover design by Esther Sandra
