About this listen

A funny, filmic and fast-paced crime-caper by a hilarious new voice in middle-grade fiction, ideal for listeners aged 10 and up.

Some people rob banks because they’re greedy. Others enjoy the adrenalin rush. Me? I robbed a bank because of guilt. Specifically: guilt and a Nepalese scented candle…

When fifteen-year-old Dylan accidentally burns down the house of the girl he’s trying to impress, he feels that only a bold gesture can make it up to her. A gesture like robbing a bank to pay for her new home.

Only an unwanted Saturday job, a tyrannical bank manager, and his unfinished history homework lie between Dylan and the heist of century. And really, what’s the worst that could happen?

A funny, cinematic, ill-advised comedy-crime adventure perfect for gamers, heist movie fans, and anyone who loves a laugh.

HTRAB is a thoroughly enjoyable tale that makes excellent use of an in-depth understanding of the paper thin psyches of teenage males. Its teenage protagonist, infatuated with his friend, finds himself undertaking the most harebrained schemes to win her affections, bereft of the emotional intelligence to express his own.

Highly recommended for any audience, though perhaps most pertinent to those going through teenage years in a first or second hand capacity.

Fun, witty and enjoyable
