Wings Audiobook by Aprilynne Pike: A Teen’s Flight to Destiny Through the Eyes of Nomes
As the first light of dawn crept through my apartment window, I settled into my favorite armchair, the one that’s perfectly molded to my contours after countless hours of reading and listening. With the city still asleep, I plugged in my headphones and dived into the world of “Wings” by Aprilynne Pike, narrated by Mandy Siegfried. The stillness of the morning and the anticipation of an adventure made it an ideal time to lose myself in a story of courage and the search for a true home.
The audiobook unfurls the tale of the nomes, tiny creatures with enormous hearts, and their relentless quest for a place to belong. Masklin, the protagonist of this young adult saga, is a beacon of hope not just for his fellow nomes but for anyone who has ever felt out of place. As a former author, I couldn’t help but marvel at the depth of the world Pike has created, a realm where the smallest beings harbor the grandest dreams.
Siegfried’s narration captures the innocence and determination of the nomes with such clarity that I felt I was right there beside them, rooting for their success. The nomes’ journey is a poignant reminder that home is more than a location—it’s where you’re free to live without fear or concealment.
The narrative’s crescendo, with Masklin daring to embark on a flight to an unknown land called Florida, embodied the spirit of adventure that I’ve always admired. As an American who’s taken a few flights in my time, I couldn’t help but chuckle at the nomes’ interpretation of a winged truck—an airplane. Their wide-eyed wonder reminded me of my first time soaring above the clouds.

“Wings” is not just a story; it’s an experience that transcends age. It’s about taking leaps, embracing change, and discovering that sometimes, the smallest individuals can make the biggest difference. As I paused the audiobook, the city around me came to life, and I found myself inspired to face the day with the courage of Masklin and his nomes.
Until the next review, happy listening,
