About this listen

Eight-year-old Barney is willing to accept that the ghost of his Great-Uncle Cole might wish to be friends with him, but his family are sceptical. However, some of his older relations admit that there does seem to be something special about the boy. Barney's sister, practical Tabitha, determines to solve the mystery - but it is Troy, the oldest of the children, who finds out what the truth really is....

while aimed at older kids, the story is well written and keeps you guessing. It has the wonderment of childhood, the imaginative quality that we all wish we still had. I'm sure I'll be getting my nieces and nephews to read it when the time comes.

A lovely children's story

A modern day miracle, this book I have to say really has got me, it was just so fascinating as we dive down the hole of mystery horror and courage, I recommend this book to people looking for a bit of horror but also a technical look on the world and a interesting idea for what and how haunting and ghosts work, over all I loved listening to it and really recommend it

Interesting, Powerful and eye opener manuscript

quite enjoyed it and I am an adult. the only irk I had was Tabatha.her personality or maybe the narrator was too much to often and suffocated the chapters in some cases.

One Irk
