About this listen

Pete's dad is being pursued by a secret organisation. Both their lives are in danger and when the helicopters hover nearby they must hide. Pete knows he leads an unusual life, but he's never dared ask questions before.

Now he needs some answers. His dad's behaviour is starting to confuse him. But when Pete starts to piece the scraps of information together, what will he discover? Who, exactly, are they running from? And why is his father really behaving so strangely?

Editorial Reviews

When 12-year-old Pete and his father go on the lam again, Pete must wonder if his father's claims are real or delusional. Stig Wemyss performs this audiobook in the form of journal entries with sincerity. He embodies Pete's enthusiasm, innocence, and loneliness through this journey. His Australian accent is heavy but adds to the authenticity of Pete's voice. Having a relative with a mental illness isn't easy for any young person, but fortunately this audiobook honestly addresses this issue. Listeners in grades six through nine will most enjoy Helicopter Man.

Critic Reviews

"What a refreshing surprise it is to listen to a story in which good things happen to good people. In Australia, 12-year-old Pete and his father have been on the run from a secret organization for several years when events end that life. Luckily, people along the way have protected and looked after them. Stig Wemyss narrates with ease, and the plot emerges with appropriate tension. Wemyss reads fluidly and distinctly, transitioning between characters seamlessly. He engagingly captures adolescence in general and the character Pete specifically. Since the story is peppered with Australian slang, an atlas and a dictionary of slang would be enjoyable accompaniments but are not necessary." (AudioFile Magazine)
