About this listen

I began trying to picture what Max or anyone would say if they could've seen me then, off on an adventure with Dusting.

"Dusting?" they'd say. "We've listened to some pretty tall stories, but that could never happen, not in a million years. If there's one person he hates more than anybody else it'd have to be you."

"No, it's true," I'd say. "That's all changed. He likes me now..." "Stop muttering," Dusting snapped. "We're here."

When you run away from home, spend two hours in a cupboard full of smelly socks, and then fall down an enormous hole, the last thing you'd normally want is to be pulled out by Ernest Dusting, the meanest, toughest kid in school.

Editorial Reviews

The Worst Best Friends series from Australian children's book author Max Dann proved so popular that it inspired an eponymous television series. In this audiobook, a failed attempt at running away leads Dann's young hero Roger Thesaurus to develop an unlikely friendship with Ernest Dusting, his school's resident bully.

Actor Alan King specializes in performing children's literature and in Worst Best Friends he delivers his characteristic exuberance. Though King definitely sounds like a grown-up, his voice has the tone and flavor of a pre-teen boy's. He can sound nerdy and nasal like Roger's friend Max, gritty and mean like Dusting, and humorous and dramatic like Roger.
