Wilder Boys

Wilder Boys, Book 1

By: Brandon Wallace

Narrated by: Brian Holden

Jake and Taylor Wilder have been taking care of themselves for a long time. Their father abandoned the family years ago, and their mother is too busy working and running interference between the boys and her boyfriend, Bull, to spend a lot of time with them. Thirteen-year-old Jake spends most of his time reading. He pores over his father's journal, which is full of wilderness facts and survival tips. Eleven-year-old Taylor likes to be outside playing with their dog, Cody, or joking around with the other kids in the neighborhood.

But one night everything changes. The boys discover a dangerous secret that Bull is hiding.

And the next day, they come home from school to find their mother unconscious in an ambulance. Afraid that their mom is dead and fearing for their own safety, the Wilder Boys head off in search of their father. They only have his old letters and journal to help them, but they bravely venture onward.

It's a long journey from the suburbs of Pittsburgh to the wilderness of Wyoming; can the Wilder Boys find their father before Bull catches up with them?

Very good

It was so so sooooo good, I listened to this story every night for months.

great car listen

this summer decided to listen to this with the kids on the way to camp. soon as the kids got in the car they would beg to put on the book. every chapter ended with a great cliffhanger. and the story wasn't boring at all. I'm single mother. so it got to me emotionally while listening. and it opened up a lot of questions from the kids. it also was a great display of the upstairs and downs of a sibling relationship. and helping my kids realize that even if they annoy each other.when in tough times. they would always be there for one another.

Experience

Suspenseful kept us entertained. We listened to it on a car ride and made the trip go quickly.

I read ot a ton

I've probably listened to it 5 or 6 times never getting bored of it always find new things about the story every time I listen to it 100% recommend for 10+ only because kind of dark at start

Great road trip book for the whole family

Our family loved listening to this book on our road trip! Our 16 year old loved it too!
The narrator is very good and changes his voice for each character. We will definitely be downloading the second book!
