- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Narrated by James Clamp. Wild Boy is reviled and bullied by everyone because of his excessive body hair and his life is reduced to working as a hairy sideshow freak. He becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a circus performer. But thanks to his acute observation skills and the assistance of Clarissa, a circus acrobat, Wild Boy determines to clear his name and uncover the true murderer. Plenty of action, suspense and some gore (thanks to the electrical invention at the center of the murder plot) are voiced with tension and relish by the Brit-voiced Clamp. An entertaining listen for families whose kids enjoy scary action stories.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wild Boy is a deliciously chilling look at the seedy underbelly of Victorian England. Abandoned at birth by his parents because of his appearance, Wild Boy, grows up taunted and teased by the other boys in the workhouse where he spent his formative years. At the age of eight he is rescued from the workhouse by a carnival barker and forced to perform in a sideshow. Luckily, for Wild Boy he has found a friend, another performer, named Sir Oswald. When Wild Boy is framed for murder he must use his exceptional powers of deduction to crack the case. What an excellent read! The author does a wonderful job of depicting the wretched conditions of the carnival life as well as the grimy London setting. I enjoyed seeing how Wild Boy's character evolved and became more accepting of himself and thus more self assured. A must read for historical fiction.enthusiasts! 5 stars!!!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Fun story. Fun characters. Also, sewers.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Wild Boy, born with hair all over his body, was first sent to a desolate orphanage until he was discovered by the circus. Here, he is part of the freak show, until one day he intercepts a letter, talking of a mysterious machine and warning of death.Overall, I thought the book moved a bit slowly. However, the characters were very interesting and dynamic. I think young teenagers will highly enjoy this book, especially boys.
