About the Author:
Stig Wemyss is an actor, writer and the voice behind millions of children’s audio books. Well, not millions. Thousands ... Alright, more like hundreds ... He has a huge fan club. Bolinda Audio is constantly receiving letters from kids saying things like ‘Stig Rocks’ and ‘I love Stig’ and ‘Stig Wemyss is the best narrator in the world’. Of course we don’t show Stig all these letters, as he already thinks he’s the best narrator in the universe! Now that he is also the author of an exciting in-car audio entertainment series, The Tripp Diaries, he thinks he’s the best narrator and the best author in the universe. We think he is too, but let’s just keep that to ourselves!
From AudioFile:
Many people find the Australian accent the most congenial in all of the English-speaking world. Unfortunately, that is the high point in this audiobook, which seems unlikely to please either adults or children. Winton, a Booker Prize nominee not long ago, has returned with an ecological tale that suffers from simple-mindedness and a distinct lack of story. It concerns a young Australian boy named Abel and his mother, who live on a beautiful bay threatened by polluters and greedy fishermen. "Blueback" is the gigantic grouper who becomes Abel's lifelong friend and guide to underwater life. For a title character, he is one silly, uninvolving creation. Wemyss is a gentle companion, but he's a long way from being able to compensate for the sins of the author. M.O. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
