The Spiderwick Chronicles, Books 1-5

DiTerlizzi_Black_Spiderwick Chronicles

A middle-grade series about magical creatures and sibling relationships. Each individual book is quite slight but when read together they build into something of a page-turner. The audiobook editions afford an appropriate outlet for Mark Hamill’s characteristic, slightly whiny intonation of dialogue.

Hearne_Heir to the Jedi

Disney presents a first-person narrative by a distinctly uninteresting Luke Skywalker in his wide-eyed Jedi novice days, wandering through a plot less gripping than old velcro. Sad to say, this feels amateurish. (Did Mark Hamill narrate the audiobook? That would be fitting.)
