Audio Reviews:

"The whole production is skillfully conceived and executed, from the design of the package, to the choice of the talent, to the final product. Libraries will want several copies of this."
                    - KLIATT

"Four talented actors realistically bring this coming of age novel to life. A welcome addition to audio collections."
                    - School Library Journal
 
"In the audio version of his novel, Fleischman again demonstrates his talent for weaving several different narratives into an emotionally resonant whole. The...obvious choice to cast four different actors here makes for an affecting listening experience."
                    - Publishers Weekly

Book Reviews:

"...a journey of self-discovery, redemption and healing... Complex and rewarding, this is a stellar addition to a consumate writer's body of work."
                    - Publishers Weekly

SYNOPSIS:

Young Brent Bishop is connected to little in his life - not his parents, his friends, nature and least of all, himself. He commits a drastic act without thought of consequences and, in retribution embarks on a journey to the four corners of the USA. This is a story of a young soul's journey of self-discovery and ultimately one of hope and promise.
