Full Synopsis
Abandoned by her mother and neglected by her scientist father, timid Elizabeth Murmur has only her fearless friend, Zenobia, for company. And Zenobia's company can be very trying! When Elizabeth's father takes them to live in his family home, Witheringe House, Zenobia becomes obsessed with finding a ghost in the creepy old mansion and forces Elizabeth to hold séances and wander the rooms at night. With Zenobia's constant pushing, Elizabeth investigates the history of the house and learns that it does hold a terrible secret: Her father's younger sister disappeared from the grounds without a trace years ago.

Elizabeth and Zenobia is a wonderfully compelling middle-grade story about friendship, courage, and the power of the imagination.

"Narrator Shiromi Arserio's voice lends itself well to the variety of voices – the 'dark' and petulant voice of Zenobia, the naive, child-like voice of Elizabeth, the lilting voice of Miss Clemency, the silky plant-like voice of the gardener among others." ---Sound Commentary Starred Review

"Narrator Shiromi Arserio whisks listeners into a world in which ghosts make pleasant companions, gardens hold treacherous secrets, and kingdoms can be found inside wallpaper remains." ---AudioFile

"Shiromi Arserio narrates with a gentle English accent, adding just enough petulance to Zenobia's tone . . . Just the right mix of mysterious and creepy for those not quite ready for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children." ---Library Journal Audio Review

"A wonderfully compelling middle-grade story about friendship, courage, and the power of the imagination." ---Midwest Book Review
