THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF AARON BROOM

THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF AARON BROOM is a heartwarming, amateur detective story set in Depression-era St. Louis.

Street-savvy, nearly 13-year-old Aaron Broom is guarding his father's car when he witnesses a robbery gone wrong in the jewelry store across the street. To Aaron's shock, his father -- in the wrong place at the wrong time -- is fingered as a suspect in the murder. Despite seeing the real killer flee the scene, Aaron can't do much to help -- no one will take a child's word for it. Undaunted and in search for justice, Aaron draws upon the resources of a world-weary paperboy, an aspiring teen journalist, a kindly lawyer and a neighborhood friend. As they dig into the details of the case, these unconventional detectives reveal a cover-up that goes much deeper than a jewelry store heist gone sour. Through it all, Aaron's optimistic narration and plucky resourcefulness shine through.

A.E. Hotchner is the author of many books including the bestselling PAPA HEMINGWAY, a compassionate memoir of the 14-year friendship he had with Ernest Hemingway. Hotchner's memoir, KING OF THE HILL, was adapted into a film by Steven Soderbergh. In addition to his writing career, Hotchner is co-founder, along with Paul Newman, of Newman's Own foods.
