THE REGULAR GUY

After listening to REGULAR GUY, it's easy to hear why Johnny Heller is considered one of the best narrator's of children's audiobooks. He takes on three very distinctive boys in this offbeat story and makes each one believable. Guy decides that he has to have been switched at birth. He zeroes in on a weird classmate who seems more like Guy's own parents! The boys trade places, and with that we meet both very different families. Weeks's utterly charming story is enhanced by the boys' own voices giving us a play-by-play narration of their unconventional adventure. Kids and adults (who like and appreciate children's books) will get many a chuckle. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 01]
