From Wimpy to Warrior the Navy SEAL Way: A Novel

By: Jocko Willink, Jon Bozak

Narrated by: Thor Willink, Jocko Willink

This program is read by Thor Willink with the author, Jocko Willink.

Fifth grade was the worst year of Marc’s life. He stunk at gym class, math was too hard for him, the school lunch was horrible, and his class field trip was ruined because he couldn’t swim. But what was most awful thing about fifth grade? Kenny Williamson, the class bully, who calls himself the "King of the Jungle."

When Marc's mother tells him that his Uncle Jake is coming to stay for the whole summer, Marc can't wait. Uncle Jake is a for real, super-cool Navy SEAL. And Uncle Jake has a plan.

He's going to turn Marc into a warrior.

Becoming a warrior isn’t easy. It means a lot of pull ups, sit ups, pushups, squats, swimming, eating right, and studying harder than ever before! Can Marc transform himself into a warrior before school starts in the fall – and finally stand up to the King of the Jungle himself?

The Way of the Warrior Kid is a new audiobook by #1 New York Times-bestselling author and retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink.

A Macmillan Audio production from Feiwel & Friends.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Thor Willink, the author's son, sounds just about Marc's age, and his dad voices the adults. This choice lends a personal note...The audio version has plenty of humor..." -School Library Journal

Not just a kid's book.

While I would recommend it for kids this 39 year old kid got a lot out of it as well. Inspiring and a tale a lot of us lived as kids.

The only downside of this book was the short length but totally worthwhile.

Inspiring!!!

I love listening to Jocko Podcast, it's very inspiring and pushes me to be better. Now we have the perfect way to help instill the same principles in our children (sometimes it's better coming from someone else's mouth). They were very excited to listen to this during our trip and have learned a lot. Jocko and Thor are excellent narrators. Well worth it!

Awesome!

I loved this book because it related to how most kids probably deal with school problems and bullys. Also because Uncle Jake was such a positive influence on Mark and taught him to be confident in himself. I got emotional when Uncle Jake had to leave after the summer. An absolute must read!

Great confidence builder for kids!!

I enjoy led the lessons taught in this book! All young kids (and even some older ones) should read it! It will truly help with building confidence and making good choices! Well done!!

awesome

love everything Jocko! such a great read for adults and kids alike. must have book for your life
