Captain Nobody is the unabridged audiobook presentation of a novel for young adults by screenwriter and songwriter Dean Pitchford (author of the songs "Fame", "Footloose", and "Holding Out for a Hero"). Young Newt Newman yearns to be a hero, but when his football-star older brother Chris ends up in a coma during the biggest game of the season, Newt is at a loss for what to do. Halloween gives Newt the opportunity to put together a costume from Chris' old clothes, creating the identity of Captain Nobody, defender of the little guy. Newt's new identity brings him the confidence to become an unlikely champion, but how can he to best help his brother? A quirky and enjoyable story with an everyman young adult hero, Captain Nobody is highly recommended for school and public library audiobook collections. 4 CDs, 4 hours 34 min.
