About this listen

Charlie and Henry are staying the night at Charlie's house. They've made a deal - but the night doesn't go quite as Charlie plans...

In The Great Escape, Charlie's fed up with his family, so he's decided to run away. But running away means being quiet.

I listened to teh other Charlie book and r3eviewed it 5 stars! Thus one is just as good- great writing- I agree with tash's review. Brilliant stuff and great narration too.

I've just written a review for Daddy Goose Collection narrated by the same actor- Daniel Hill! He is really great and makes the characters jump off the page- with energy and life and builds the story beautifully- you may have guessed I'm a writer too, with KIDS- this is great work and anybody thinking of getting a few minutes peace from them should buy this and any others with Daniel Hill narrating! It was fun for me too!!

Brilliant- totally brillaint
