À propos de cet audio

For fans of To Kill a Mockingbird, The King's Speech, and The Help. A boy who stutters comes of age in the segregated South, during the summer that changes his life.

An 11-year-old boy living in Memphis in 1959 throws the meanest fastball in town, but talking is a whole different ball game. He can barely say a word without stuttering, not even his own name. So when he takes over his best friend's paper route for the month of July, he knows he'll be forced to communicate with the different customers, including a housewife who drinks too much and a retired merchant marine who seems to know just about everything.

The paper route poses challenges, but it's a run-in with the neighborhood junkman, a bully and thief, that stirs up real trouble - and puts the boy's life, as well as that of his family's devoted housekeeper, in danger.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"[A] compelling first-person narrative." ( The Washington Post)
"Lincoln Hoppe's narration is pure perfection.... [he] brings out Little Man's endearing vulnerability and portrays the stutter with a tender ease and grace that will make listeners feel empathy and hope for the boy.... The afterword is read by author, and stutterer, Vince Vawter, making this an extraordinary listening and learning experience." ( AudioFile)
"In a compelling climax, he, still stuttering, proudly announces his real name; the moment is as eloquent as his story." ( The Horn Book)

Touching and funny with a Universal Message!

Lincoln Hope's voice perfectly brings to life this charming and important story of a stuttering boy who takes over his friend's paper route during a steamy hot July in 1959 Memphis. The writing is great, the characters are so well-drawn, the dialogue is authentic, and Hope masters it all. All middle graders should read/listen to this book. Vince Vawter - the author - narrates the Afterword which is a special treat. #Audible1
