Summary

Jimmy Crikey is the orphan alien living on Earth. Because of his strange appearance, Jimmy was bullied beyond endurance.

Jimmy saved the underground world of Roombelow from the sleeping spell cast by Matilda, the witch who forgot how to laugh. Gemma, the little lady who lived at the bottom of the well, was Jimmy’s greatest friend. Once Jimmy restored her to the Diamonites and her lost home in the cave world of Lithania, her tiny niece Jade becomes Jimmy’s greatest admirer.

Once freed from the bullies, Jimmy blossomed and he developed into a genuine hero. He uses his unique Attalian powers to defend Roombelow from many of the dangers that threaten. Far above Earth, the Sky Islands are invaded by the galactic race of Zylons. It needs the power of the four witches, the ancient Weatherman, plus the magic of the reluctant apprentice witch, Jade, to overcome the invaders with a little help from Jimmy.

After their victory the Weatherman disappears and the witches unite to search for him throughout the solar system in Jimmy’s starship. Eventually, the search takes them to explore the caverns of Mars. The sticklike beings called Ropians inhabit the lower levels of Mars. They have become an interplanetary threat. Their search for water threatens Earth. The supernatural forces of the four witches, the wisdom of the Weatherman, and the knowledge of Jimmy unite to overcome the threat posed by the Ropians. Will victory assure the release of the Weatherman?

Exceptional Story book!

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.

I fully satisfied.

This is an excellent Young Adult book. Ultimately, it conveys a message of self-love and acceptance which is significantly important at this age group level. It includes a little lady who lives at the bottom of a well, little people, and trolls helping Jimmy learn the greatest lessons of his changing life. Highly recommend.

Very interesting!

Fascinating story about a young boy in search of new friends and acceptance. The book is all about valuable moral lessons and on the other hand - the prejudice around us when we are different from others. Lovely story!

Adventure time!

I grab this audiobook for my teens. My son always loves to listen to adventure stories. He said this book is as good as Harry Potter.

Easy to listen!

My friend listened to this audiobook twice and request me to listen. I listened and fell in love with Jimmy. The story culminates with beseeching higher powers to intervene and forces of nature that underpin human belief.

Nice one!

I enjoyed listening to this story. The author raises topics such as self-love and acceptance in the book - things we don't discuss a lot these days!

An exaggerated authenticity!

This is entertaining, unusual, and controversial; the language and narration are novel with a current of humor. The adventures of Jimmy Crikey are fully interesting.
