Publisher's Summary:
Pete's dad is being pursued by a secret organisation. Both their lives are in danger, and when the helicopters hover nearby, they must hide.
Pete knows he leads an unusual life, but he's never dared ask questions before. Now he needs some answers. His dad's behaviour is starting to confuse him. But when Pete starts to piece the scraps of information together, what will he discover? Who, exactly, are they running from? And why is his father really behaving so strangely?
Editorial Reviews:
When 12-year-old Pete and his father go on the lam again, Pete must wonder if his father's claims are real or delusional. Stig Wemyss performs this audiobook in the form of journal entries with sincerity. He embodies Pete's enthusiasm, innocence, and loneliness through this journey. His Australian accent is heavy but adds to the authenticity of Pete's voice. Having a relative with a mental illness isn't easy for any young person, but fortunately this audiobook honestly addresses this issue. Listeners in grades six through nine will most enjoy Helicopter Man.
Critic Reviews:
"This compact, intense read, set in Australia, will speak directly to teens growing up with a schizophrenic parent, as well as to a wide range of readers who will finish the affecting story with more questions about and compassion for the mentally ill." (Booklist)
