About this listen

Imagine, if you will, an eleven-year-old boy with an imagination so powerful that he uses it like others would use a compass. Our hero, Jimmy Hamilton, loses his fort on three separate occasions all in the span of one summer. He must battle both his wits and unwanted squatters. He comes to discover each new unwanted tenant proves more difficult to evict than the last. His plans have a modicum of success but each come with unintended consequences.

Adding to the mix of that imagination and his antics to win back his fort, the prettiest girl his age, a baseball diamond, a groundhog, a snapping turtle, and the town vagrant and Jimmy soon finds his summer adventure is more than he bargained for.

Sour Apples is a humorous young adult adventure of a very clever young boy who thinks he can outwit the best of them. His antics are riveting and could one day make Jimmy a legend. Paul Jantzen has masterfully written his debut novel, a tale of mischief and antics that will grab the listener from the very first minute.

Continue what you just started, and join Jimmy Hamilton in navigating his summer of adventure.

Paul Jantzen's debut novel, Sour Apples is a really good read. The characters are well developed and the storyline is interesting from the very start. Jimmy is a likeable kid if a bit whiney and his 3 best mates make up a great supporting cast. Fall outs occur but are soon forgotten as the Wildcats Baseball team strive to compete. I know nothing about Baseball but although some of the story revolves around the game I didn't get lost. The story is told with humour and an obvious knowledge of what goes through the average 11 year old boys minds as they cope with their changing situations and emotions. Highly Recommended listen. I look forward to listening to more of this series. Steve Connor's narration is spot on as he breathes life in to the book.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and leave this honest review voluntarily.
