About this listen

Twelve-year-old Aaron Broom is protecting his father's car from repossession when he witnesses a jewelry store robbery gone wrong. To Aaron's shock, his father, a struggling salesman in the wrong place at the wrong time, is fingered as the prime suspect in the murder. Aaron - precocious, plucky, not a little naïve - must seek out gangsters, diamond dealers, bootleggers, and street kids in order to prove his father's innocence. In his search for justice, Aaron draws upon the resources of a world-weary paperboy, an aspiring teen journalist, and a kindly lawyer. As they dig into the details of the case, these unconventional detectives reveal a cover-up that goes much deeper than a jewelry-store heist gone sour. Through it all, Aaron's optimism and resourcefulness shine through. Hotchner's latest is a rollicking ride through St. Louis at its lowest, as seen through the eyes of his most lovable narrator to date.

Critic reviews

"A. E. Hotchner has created a wonderful, moving, action-packed novel. The Amazing Adventures of Aaron Broom will long remain a pillar of the American literary lexicon. Distinguish yourself and buy it now!" (Winston Groom, The New York Times best-selling author of Forrest Gump)

"Everyone who reads Hotchner’s new novel will find a kindred spirit in young Aaron Broom. Each scene is vivid and every character authentic, as only a master of fiction could make them. Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish." (Stuart Woods, The New York Times best-selling author of Shoot First)

"Hotchner's storytelling is fast-paced, his feel for period detail sure-handed, his vision of humanity-facing-adversity persistently sunny, and his regard for the boy's resourcefulness contagious. A brisk, winsome caper." (Kirkus)

The attraction of this book was twofold: Depression era mystery and St. Louis, where my mom lives. It was fun to hear places I have been. And plucky Aaron Broom was a great character. Michael Crouch was outstanding. Just a wonderful book!

Great historical adventure!
