Wild Boy

By: Rob Lloyd Jones

Narrated by: James Clamp

In the seedy underworld of Victorian London a boy is born and abandoned.

Snatched up by an unscrupulous and abusive showman, Wild Boy, covered in hair from head to toe, becomes a sideshow freak. Isolated from other children and wickedly abused by the cruel master who bought him, Wild Boy becomes an avid observer, developing Sherlock Holmes - like deductive skills. Although he is tormented and insulted, kicked and spat at, his quick mind takes in everything he sees. When a murder occurs at the fair, Wild Boy is hastily accused. Can he use his powers of deduction to save himself? And will the talented and spunky young acrobat Clarissa be with him - or against him?

Listeners will be swept along by the cinematic pace, immersed in the vivid historical setting, and gripped by suspense as they wait to find out if a better fate could possibly await someone so very different.

I LOVE THIS BOOK

This book is my absolute favorite of all time! I love it so much and I thought it would be fun to listen to the audio version. It was! I love this book. Some of the dialogue wasn’t exactly as I had imagined it to be said nor the voices the exact same but that was to be expected. It was narrated almost perfectly and I love it. I. Love. It.
