Benito Bause liest: Tom Percival, Der Junge in den falschen Schuhen

From 8 years

Will is wearing the wrong shoes - he knows that himself, but how can he change it? It's not just the shoes: his jacket and haircut are also wrong, he can't buy the school supplies, and often he can't even find something to eat when he gets home. His parents have their own worries, and Will tries everything he can to stand out as little as possible at school. But he doesn't always succeed. In his desperation, he even briefly goes off the rails. It is only when his great talent for drawing is discovered that he finds the self-confidence to accept genuine friendship and help.

Benito Bause, known from TV series such as Doppelhaushälfte and All you need, is an accomplished theater actor and audiobook narrator. He gives this story about child poverty an intense sound with his youthful, soft voice. You will take Will straight to your heart.

Tom Percival spent his childhood in a run-down caravan with no electricity or heating. Today he lives with his family in a house in Stroud, England. When he's not writing or illustrating books, he walks his dog, plays music and takes photographs.
