"Dykhouse captures the expressive quality of [the] narrative, which is full of sentence fragments and is constructed like poetry. She gives [the narrative] just the right blend of certainty in her family's steadfast love and growing weariness with her own worsening medical needs. While [the narrative] is the linchpin of the story, Dykhouse creates memorable voices for the eccentric array of people who also inhabit her world."

REVIEWS
"Dykhouse's youthful voice suggests an appropriately sarcastic point of view as she brings Olivia's predicament to life. As suspense around her condition mounts, Dykhouse adjusts her pace and tone to keep listeners engaged."

"Narrator Whitney Dykhouse creates the perfect dreamlike tone for this lyrical novel set in Pennsylvania farm country. Twelve-year-old Sara has Marfan syndrome and needs a heart operation that her parents can't afford. When The Mister rents a cottage on the family farm, Sara and her brother, Hawk, discover that solving the mystery of why he's there could prove profitable. Dykhouse captures the expressive quality of Sara's narrative, which is full of sentence fragments and is constructed like poetry. She gives Sara just the right blend of certainty in her family's steadfast love and growing weariness with her own worsening medical needs. While Sara is the linchpin of the story, Dykhouse creates memorable voices for the eccentric array of people who also inhabit her world."

“Narrators Whitney Dykhouse and Jake Mate portray Rachel Cartland and Samuel Bold, aspiring paleontologists whose fathers are famous in the field and bitter rivals. Oppel's layered mystery features a strong sense of place and two vibrant young scientists. Dykhouse and Mate bring intensity, spirited characterizations, and fresh energy to their performances. Their pacing keeps the listener's adrenaline high as the story unfolds and makes the young protagonists as engaging as their fathers are unlikable.”

“Three talented narrators team up to bring the dysfunctional MacAllister family to life…Amazingly, through tone, breathing, and speech patterns, the characters are presented consistently by all three narrators. Horsey Mary, charming Margaux, shy Kate, and fireball Liddie are portrayed by Julia Whelan. Selfish Ryan is captured by Timothy Andrés Pabon. The poignant voice of Amanda, the murdered girl, is delivered by Whitney Dykhouse. This psychological suspense is narrated with cohesiveness and charm.”
