The Whispers





A middle-grade mystery with heart, humour, a brilliant LGBT protagonist - and a hint of magic.

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Whispers by Greg Howard, read by Joe Jameson.

Before she disappeared, Riley's mama used to tell him stories about the Whispers, mysterious creatures with the power to grant wishes.

Riley wishes for lots of things. He wishes his secret crush Dylan liked him back. He wishes the bumbling detective would stop asking awkward questions. But most of all he wishes his mother would come home . . .

Four months later, the police are no closer to finding out the truth - and Riley decides to take matters into his own hands.

But do the Whispers really exist?
And what is Riley willing to do to find out?
