REVIEWS

"Experienced narrator Elena [Rey] makes this new fantasy novel about a teenager who is reborn as a sea spirit rise to the top of recommended audiobooks. Readers will be swept into the storyline, which blends the wonders of the undersea world with themes of loss and responsibility."

-Good Housekeeping, Graciela in the Abyss by Meg Medina​

​"[Rey] balances the story's tension, the characters' high emotions, and the intricate world-building."

-AudioFile Magazine, Graciela in the Abyss by Meg Medina

​"Rey empathically follows Graciela's growth from mischievous youth to brave and honest hero, and Jorge's metamorphosis from bullied victim to selfless champion.... Rey deftly complements Medina's first fantasy with graceful fluidity."

-Library Journal, Graciela in the Abyss by Meg Medina
