Read aloud by Canadian author and CBC Radio personality W.O. Mitchell, How I Spent My Summer Holidays is an abridged coming-of-age audiobook with grim and serious overtones. When twelve-year-old Hugh spends his summer in a small prairie town, he and his friends discover a secret cave housing an escaped "mental hospital" patient. They form a connection with the hidden rum-runner and former war hero; yet when events take a murderous turn, Hugh must leave his childhood behind forever. An engaging prairie novel, perfectly captured just as it was originally broadcast on CBC Radio, and highly recommended. 3 hours, 3 CDs.
