About this listen

I'm Dan Hope and inside my head I keep a list of things I want to come true. For example, I want my sister to go to university at the North Pole and only come back once a year. I want to help Sherlock Holmes solve his most daring mystery yet. I want to be the first 11-year-old to land on the moon. And finally I want my dad to love me.

An interesting narration which can be slightly irritating at times, but generally good. A lovely story for a 10-11 year old to read.

An enjoyable and touching book.

I liked the whole aspect of the story, a dislike would be that the performance wasn’t to great. I would recommend this book to people who are going through a similar thing so they know they’re not alone. I given this rating because I enjoyed the story, and it’s enjoyable to listen to.

Funny but heart touching.
