The Wednesdays

By: Julie Bourbeau

Narrated by: Josh Hurley

Max’s village is absolutely normal in every single way and on every single day—except Wednesday. Most of the townsfolk shutter their windows and lock their doors to hide away from the many peculiar things that happen—things like cats getting stuck in the vacuum cleaner and birthday cakes meeting fiery and horrific ends. But Max is too curious for that, and so, breaking every rule in the village, he searches out the cause of all the Wednesday weirdness.

What he uncovers is a secret so devious—so dastardly and mischievous—that life as he knows it will never be the same. Max himself is not the same. Suddenly the mysterious little accidents so common on Wednesdays are happening to him on Thursdays, Fridays—even Saturdays!

What’s come over Max? And more importantly, is there any cure for a case of the Wednesdays?

Mystery, magic, mischief and monsters abound in this slightly fantastical story of a human kid who wants to stay that way.

Quirky delight

This was a perfect listen for the kiddos, delivering a modern day fairytale, light suspense, and adventure. If your kids are old enough to handle Pinocchio getting kidnapped or Hansel and Gretel getting lost in the woods, then they should enjoy this charming story.

Free of sex, politics, religion, and cussing.
Full of flights of fancy, a scrappy veteran and his dog, mood rings, and rotten luck.
