New Young adult audiobook Augie Sweetwater and the Dolphin’s Tale by William Harrigan, available now narrated by Caleb Summers
Hello again, dear audiobooks friends! As you well know, I cover audiobooks from all genres here on theAudiobookBlog.com, and today I’m really excited to tell you about a new Young Adult novel that is now available in our favorite format.
The audiobook version of Augie Sweetwater and the Dolphin’s Tale was released a few weeks ago, it is written by new author William Harrigan, it’s narrated by voiceover artist Caleb Summers, while the audio production has a runtime of almost 7 hours and it has been published by Valentine Creek, LLC.
I suggest that we take a look at the Publisher’s Summary for Augie Sweetwater and the Dolphin’s Tale, and after that, I will tell you more about the author and the narrator.
Also, I highly recommend that you don’t miss out on the end of this article because I will unveil how author William Harrigan has been inspired to write this compelling story.
Augie Sweetwater is a brilliant 11-year-old with a gift for inventing amazing things. Coop Cooperlick is the new kid in town, a 14-year-old with a passion for rock climbing and a knack for quick action. Mika Deerwood is a lovely 13-year-old Native American attending the prestigious Anacortes School with Augie and Coop. With the help of a rather special dolphin named Leo, they solve the mystery of disappearing families in the San Juan Islands of Washington state.
A 1972 graduate of Yale University, Bill has enjoyed a wide variety of experiences around the world. As an officer in the Army and then the NOAA Corps, he flew helicopters, managed the Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary, and headed up NOAA’s Office of Special Operations.
After earning a master’s degree in marine area management from the University of Rhode Island in 1991, he directed the U.S. National Marine Sanctuary Program and later served as head of planning and management for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority in Townsville, Australia.
Bill retired from the NOAA Corps in 1993 to pursue a second career as a photojournalist and marine park consultant. He has written and photographed over 200 articles on diving in the Caribbean, Atlantic and Pacific for Skin Diver, Sport Diver and Alert Diver magazines and also has assisted in setting up marine parks in Kenya, Egypt and Thailand.
Now a full time novelist, Augie Sweetwater and the Dolphin’s Tale is Bill’s first book in the young adult genre. This story is the first in a planned series following the amazing adventures of a brilliant young inventor and his friends.
Caleb Summers is an enthusiastic performer, baker, dad, and husband. When he is not doing voice work, he can often be found baking breads, spending quality time with his wife, doing jigsaw puzzles, making music, playing with dogs, chasing kids, or seeking solace out in nature.
He has been using his voice publicly on stage, on camera, and on a microphone since he was a boy, and deeply loves the act and art of performance.
As promised, here is what Bill told me when I asked him what was the inspiration behind Augie Sweetwater and the Dolphin’s Tale:
In part, my inspiration for this first Augie Sweetwater story came from some amazing chance encounters that I had with wild dolphins while I was diving or snorkeling. Once an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin came up behind me while I was photographing a small nudibranch deep on wall in the Bahamas
The dolphin looked right over my shoulder, apparently curious about what I was so intently doing. I nearly jumped out of my wetsuit, which seemed to amuse the dolphin. We swam along together for quite awhile after that, I think both enjoying the moment. I often wonder how he or she describes that encounter to friends. I must have seemed like a strange and awkward creature.
I will return with the full review for Augie Sweetwater and the Dolphin’s Tale, but I already started listening and I absolutely love it. Both the writing and the narration are excellent! So see you here soon, but until then, take care, stay safe and don’t forget, always listen with your heart!
