Publisher's summary

A few things to know about Dylan:

He is the only boy in his entire Welsh town, so forget about playing soccer.

His best friends are two pet chickens.

His family owns the town's only gas station/coffee house: their pies are to die for, but profits are in the hole.

Criminal instincts run in his family: his sister is a mastermind-in-training, and the tax men are after his father for questioning.

And one more small thing about nine-year-old Dylan: the crime of the century has just fallen into his lap.

With the same easy mix of wit, warmth, and wonder that made his debut novel, Millions, an award-winning international best seller, Frank Cottrell Boyce tells the story of a boy who reminds an entire town of the power of art.

Great Read

We listened to this book on a car ride and loved it. My son couldn't wait to continue after ride breaks. We all enjoyed it. The narration and story were great.

One of my favorites!

Loved it! Perfect for the entire family! One of my favorite books. The narrator does an excellent job. Going to check out more Frank Cottrell Boyce titles.

Charming

I purchased this book to hear the voice of my favorite DS from the Midsomer Murders tv program. Jason Hughes is charming as the narrator, Dillon. The story is well written, featuring the trials and tribulations of a modern Welsh family with an stalwart optimism that makes the impossible seem plausible. The author underscores the value of art to ordinary people without being pedantic (though occasionally one of the characters comes across as such) and the value of finding beauty in the ordinary. I know I will listen to this story again and again, and hope that Audible will carry more books read by Mr Hughes. Very pleased with this purchase.

Fantastic and fun! LOVE the performance

Jason Hughes really does a fabulous job reading this book! I think I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much if I read a hard copy. We listened as a family on a long road trip and it was such a fun listen!
