About this listen

Do you want to know a secret?

Beneath the very ground on which you walk and beyond the stars above your head are more worlds than you could ever dream of. There are monsters. Be afraid. Magic wielded by witches and sorcerers. Epic adventures in worlds far across the ocean. And fearsome weapons which threaten to destroy everything.

Jimmy Crikey is a brave soul who faces some pretty scary challenges. Solving mysteries and averting mayhem, his incredible courage allows him to free up his abilities to shine and rise above every challenge in his path on his way to discovering why he looks so very strange.

With a bright red mop of unruly hair, big blue eyes, a small snub nose, pointed ears, and enormous feet, poor Jimmy is ridiculed by the neighborhood children and runs away in search of a world where he fits in. Following a midnight flight through the forest, he stumbles into a lost, underground world called Roombelow, and magic, adventure, danger, and excitement await.

From the little lady who lives at the bottom of a well, a starship that wants to take him home, trolls, little people, traders, and diamonite stealers to water sprites, witches, helpful dolphins, and interplanetary warfare, Jimmy learns the biggest lessons of his life.

This surely will remain one of those books to talk about for decades and decades to come. I love Jimmy Crikey's adventure and it inspires me.

For me, Paul Enwright was the perfect choice as the narrator. Many thanks

I love this audiobook. Brigg’s story was apparently born out of a collection of ever-evolving short stories, and in that regard, ‘Jimmy Crikey lays ample groundwork for a continuing adventure. By the end of the novel, Crikey has not only made a ton of new friends but he’s also found inner peace.

Fascinating and Interesting!

Easy to listen to, Wallace performs the story wonderfully.
Somehow gentle, the tales are still bold and engaging, and the characters are interwoven with historical events so they all become real and believable.
No downside, enjoyed it all the way through.

Very entertaining.

This audiobook is a genre-crossing novel with elements of fantasy, science fiction, and adventure as well. In reality, the story came about because of necessity - to entertain four or five children in the approximate age range 4 - 7 yrs. A very good listen.

Jimmy Crikey's story is that with perseverance all problems can be overcome and that being different does not define the person you are. The Adventures of Jimmy Crikey is splendidly written with generous doses of action, humor, and love.

Overcome many obstacles.
