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
