About this listen

Sara Stanley is only 14, but she can weave tales that are impossible to resist. In the charming town of Carlisle, children and grown-ups alike flock from miles around to hear her spellbinding narratives. And when Bev King and his younger brother, Felix, arrive for the summer, they, too, are captivated by the Story Girl. Whether she's leading them on an exciting misadventure or narrating timeless stories — from the scary "Tale of the Family Ghost" to the fanciful "How Kissing Was Discovered" and the bittersweet "The Blue Chest of Rachel Ward" — the Story Girl has her audience hanging on every word.(P)1997 Blackstone Audio Inc. Classics Growing Up & Facts of Life Literature & Fiction

Critic reviews

"Conlin best performs the stories the story girl tells...her voice and demeanor come alive with natural enthusiasm." ( AudioFile)

A Summer of pure magic and humour

A thoroughly pleasant listen with very descriptive and amazing humour and tales that are completely believable and could well be true!

Not my favourite Montgomery book

This differs slightly from the average collection of short stories in that the stories are placed within the flow of a wider text - essentially the Story Girl tells stories as the novel progresses. Nothing wrong with that, but my God is the Story Girl annoying! Little Miss Perfect. And a lot of the stories she tells are just dull.

Overall, this is a reasonable read for anyone who is a fan of Montgomery’s style, but it’s nowhere near the quality of some of her other works.
