CARTER'S BIG BREAK

Will Carter’s freshman year of high school just ended, and summer looks fantastic. He’s got a gorgeous, smart girlfriend, a close group of guy friends, and a chance to audition for a Hollywood movie being filmed in his hometown. Of course, the best-laid plans often go awry. Nick Podehl narrates with boundless energy and enthusiasm. He gives spot-on portrayals of wacky teen boys, sassy teen girls, and all manner of adults. The story is told from Carter’s point of view, so listeners enjoy uncensored adolescent goofiness. Crawford’s humor is tempered with sweetness, and Podehl’s narration is so authentic that it sounds like he’s recalling his own teen years. This family-listening audiobook is tailor-made for summer road trips. G.D. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2011]
