Acerca de esta escucha
Jimmy Harris has a lot to learn about girls. Then again, what sixth grade boy doesn't?
As the sixth grade begins, Jimmy promptly finds himself in love with not one, but two girls. What's a boy to do? Luckily, he has football to distract him, and as the big game approaches, Jimmy must make a very big decision, perhaps the biggest in his young life.
Jimmy and the Monroe Mustangs is a coming-of-age, young adult novel that features one very special sixth-grade boy who loves football and girls...but not necessarily in that order.

Danny Owens is dedicating his seventh-grade season to his Super Bowl champion father, who recently passed away. Danny promises everyone that, just like his dad, he’ll dominate the big game at the end of the season and earn a spot on the high school varsity team.

And if Danny can’t pass this class, he won’t be eligible to play in the championship game that could unlock his future.

Jimmy Lee Hickam grew up along Red Dog Road, a dead-end strip of gravel and mud buried deep in the bowels of Appalachian Ohio. It is the poorest road, in the poorest county, in the poorest region of the state. To make things worse, the name Hickam is synonymous with trouble. Jimmy Lee hails from a heathen mix of thieves, moonshiners, drunkards, and general anti-socials that for decades have clung to both the hardscrabble hills and the iron bars of every jail cell in the region. This life, Jimmy Lee believes, is his destiny, someday working with his drunkard father at the sawmill, or sitting next to his arsonist brother in the penitentiary.

He wasn't born with the name Maniac Magee. He came into this world named Jeffrey Lionel Magee, but when his parents died and his life changed, so did his name. And Maniac Magee became a legend. Even today kids talk about how fast he could run; about how he hit an inside-the-park "frog" homer; about how no knot, no matter how snarled, would stay that way once he began to untie it. But the thing Maniac Magee is best known for is what he did for the kids from the East Side and those from the West Side.

It all starts when Marisa picks up the wrong cell phone. When she returns it to Rene, she feels curiously drawn to him. But Marisa and Rene aren’t exactly a match made in heaven. For one thing, Marisa is a chola; she’s a lot of girl, and she’s not ashamed of it. Skinny Rene gangles like a sackful of elbows and wears a calculator on his belt. In other words, he’s a geek. So why can’t Marisa stay away from him?

There are three ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route 117, Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. Every day in the summer of 1974, 12-year-old Gwendy Peterson has taken the stairs, which are held by strong (if time-rusted) iron bolts and zigzag up the cliffside. At the top of the stairs, Gwendy catches her breath and listens to the shouts of the kids on the playground. One day a stranger calls to Gwendy: "Hey, girl. Come on over here for a bit. We ought to palaver, you and me."

Though he thinks of himself as a cowboy, Tommy is really a bully. He's always playing cruel jokes on classmates or stealing from the store. But Tommy has a reason: life at home is tough. His abusive mother isn't well; in fact, she may be mentally ill, and his sister, Mary Lou, is in the hospital badly burned from doing a chore it was really Tommy's turn to do. To make amends, Tommy takes over Mary Lou's paper route.

Landon Dorch longs to play football, and he is definitely built for the game. Unfortunately two things stand in his way: his mother's worries and the fact that he is deaf. Landon hopes that the family's move to a new town will offer him a fresh start and that he can leave behind the teasing and taunts that marred life at his former school. But his speech problems and his cochlear implants seem to invite bullying. Luckily he is not without help, starting with his loving and quirky family and then a great new friend on the team.

To Joseph Friedman, middle school might as well be the Running of the Bulls. He's friendless and puny, with ADD to boot, so he spends most of his time avoiding class bully Charlie Kastner and hiding out in the Resource Room, a safe place for misfit kids like him. But then, on the first day of seventh grade, two important things happen. First, his Resource Room teacher, Mrs. T, encourages (i.e., practically forces) him to join the school track team, and second, he meets Heather, a tough, athletic new girl who isn't going to be pushed around by Charlie Kastner.

The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. Juli says, "My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss." He says, "It's been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort." But in the eighth grade, everything gets turned upside down: Just as Bryce is thinking that there's maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, she's thinking that he's not quite all he seemed.

Mike was seven when his father was killed in mysterious circumstances in Afghanistan. Eight years later, the family still hasn't recovered: Mike's mom is overworked and overprotective; his younger sister, Mary, feels no connection to the father she barely remembers; and in his quest to be "the man of the family", Mike knows he's missing out on everyday high school life. Then, out of the blue, Mike receives a letter from his father - the first of a series Dad wrote in Afghanistan, just in case he didn't come home, meant to share some wisdom with his son.

An exciting adventure!
Would you consider the audio edition of Jimmy and the Monroe Mustangs to be better than the print version?
I feel all audio versions of books are better than print versions. Audio brings out the correct pronunciations and complete emotions in the story that many of us are not gifted to do. I also like to kick back & listen to a great story the same way I would a good friend.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the quality life & happiness Jimmy has in his home life. Jimmy is a smart, well-rounded, well brought up boy in the 6th grade - very level headed most of the time.
What about Brian Rollins’s performance did you like?
I liked the soothing sound of the narrator's voice. He spoke clearly for me to understand and did great using many voices thus making the story believable.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The best part I liked was when Jimmy was smart enough to set Jake up to get caught stealing. I also really liked how Jimmy stood up for his friends, specially the girls!
Any additional comments?
This was a really good read! Perfect for young boys and girls alike. It was a good length for kids at that age too. I would guess this would be a great book for kids from ages 8 to maybe young adult. I know some adults that would enjoy this book too. Listening to this story took me back to my school days a lot.

A well written and read story of a 6th grade boy
J R was a sixth grade teacher. His children's stories are typical of how a young boy thinks. This is a picture of the real life a boy longs for. School, sports and girls makes it a fun read. Also check out Kurt and Captain Annie.

good for everyone
This was a delightful audio book, very easy to pick up and listen. It wasn't long at all and I finished in one listen. I would recommend to kids of all ages, boys and girls alike. Narrator did an excellent job and it was fun to follow along with Jimmy in his adventures.
