Sour Apples

A Novel for Those Who Hate to Read

By: Paul Jantzen

Narrated by: Steve Connor

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.

Absolutely incredible

What a fantastic book Paul! I hope there will be a second one, it's typically hard for me to stay interested in a book but start to finish this was great!!! Id highly recommend anyone to listen and enjoy.

Decent book

Can't really tell what decade this is suppose to have taken place in. Not a bad book, though. It's a story about an 11 year old just trying to be an 11 year old and defend his fort. Heartwarming at times. Although the end was like "What?"

Loved it!

Absolutely loved listening to this book. It’s a wholesome tale of an 11 year old boy and his summer adventures. Great listening for the whole family.

Great story for/ about the boys

the story is from the perspective of a young boy and his view of the world and his parents. could listen too with the family.

Instant Classic!!!

The whole time listening to this book, it felt like a book that has been around for many many years and is such a good story that everybody knows it has high regards for it. Great story and narration.
