Publisher's summary

Do you want to know a secret?

Beneath the very ground on which you walk and beyond the stars above your head are more worlds than you could ever dream of. There are monsters. Be afraid. Magic wielded by witches and sorcerers. Epic adventures in worlds far across the ocean. And fearsome weapons which threaten to destroy everything.

Jimmy Crikey is a brave soul who faces some pretty scary challenges. Solving mysteries and averting mayhem, his incredible courage allows him to free up his abilities to shine and rise above every challenge in his path on his way to discovering why he looks so very strange.

With a bright red mop of unruly hair, big blue eyes, a small snub nose, pointed ears, and enormous feet, poor Jimmy is ridiculed by the neighborhood children and runs away in search of a world where he fits in. Following a midnight flight through the forest, he stumbles into a lost, underground world called Roombelow, and magic, adventure, danger, and excitement await.

From the little lady who lives at the bottom of a well, a starship that wants to take him home, trolls, little people, traders, and diamonite stealers to water sprites, witches, helpful dolphins, and interplanetary warfare, Jimmy learns the biggest lessons of his life.

My friend and I love this book.

I always enjoy listening to adventure stories. My friend grab this book and we listened to it together. From the little lady who lives at the bottom of a well, a starship that wants to take him home, trolls, little people, traders, and diamonte stealers to water sprites, witches, helpful dolphins, and interplanetary warfare, Jimmy learns the biggest lessons of his life.

Interesting tale for all.

This story abounded in values and positive reinforcement such as prayer, respect for elders, trust over fear, self-discovery, self-inquiry, standing up for inner feelings and sentiments, service, and caring for others. My daughter and I loved listening and recommend it.

Happy to listen to this book.

Interesting audiobook with soothing narration. My daughter and I listened to this book every night before sleep. We enjoyed and were inspired by Jimmy Crikey's adventure. I like it.

Adventures of a timeless story!

Worlds Beneath and Above the Stars a "latest discovery" feels a bit strange. Paul Enwright delivers this extraordinary adventure with a soothing voice and passion with the words on page. A story delivered as it should be. I highly recommend this.

Let the adventures begin!

A great audiobook to get our Brave and wild children to want to listen. It’s amazing!

Fun book for the whole family!

The audiobook kept my son's interest, he is more accustomed to seeing in books for his age. With that being said, the story is detailed, lovely and Jimmy 's adventures kept my son's interest. I would recommend this book.

Good one for my cousin.

My cousin always listens to fantasy stories, especially adventure books. I grab this for him and he enjoyed listening to the courageous story of Jimmy Crikey.

SCINTILLATING STORY!

I listened to and loved this audiobook. Briggs touches on teenage emotion and bravery, promoting a positive view of and to the young, thus presenting the idea of a conscientious and responsible youth to those starting out on this seemingly perilous journey, echoed cleverly by the adventure that plays out center stage.

Impressive and Incredible!

“The Adventures of Jimmy Crikey” is a bit of a mash-up of all of your favorite middle-grade stories. Jimmy’s adventure is the classic underdog tale with a page-turning storyline and mayhem throughout.

Definitely a good listen!

Briggs seamlessly weaves a story of a young, relatable character that tweens will root for. Briggs has laid the groundwork for a series within this novel and I look forward to more chapters in this series. This is a novel to listen to with the family.

I would recommend this book to fans of novels like the Percy Jackson series and fantasy fiction.
