THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF AARON BROOM

by | Read by Michael Crouch

Fiction • 4.75 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2018

A novel told from the point of view of a 12-year-old boy can be a challenge for even the most talented narrator, but Michael Crouch thrives in the role. Set in Depression-era St. Louis, this charming--if a bit hokey--story draws on scenes from Hotchner's own childhood. (The author turned 101 this year.) After his father is wrongfully arrested for a murder during a jewelry store heist, young Aaron sets about trying to prove his innocence. The plot strains credulity and has the feel of a young adult detective novel, but it's good, clean fun. And it's made more entertaining by Crouch, who captures Aaron's youthful energy and rounds out the colorful cast with a subtle palette of accents and voices.
