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.

I like this story of Jimmy Crikey very much. It is full of adventure. The performance is great and really brings all the characters alive with their distinctive Southern voices. The story, however, and I feel churlish in admitting this, had me a little bored at times.

Exceptional book!

What an amazing audiobook! I’ve just finished and want to start again immediately! Every line is pure poetry and yet its earthiness feels true and real. A great story bigger than Man, but actually no real story at all. My sister also enjoyed listening.

Spectacular!
