About this listen

An epic and exciting adventure for readers 8+ by the author of the bestselling Land of Roar series. Perfect for fans of BBC’s Ghosts!

Sid Jones has always known she is different,
but after accidentally freeing a 300-year-old
pirate ghost (using a gel pen and a chocolate bar),
Sid realises that she has actual MAGIC!

Sid starts to use her magic to free more ghosts,
who have all been trapped by the sinister innkeeper.
But then a mysterious sickness strikes the people
of Fathom. Can Sid and best friend Zen solve the
mystery, save the town and free the ghosts?

A truly epic conclusion to this dynamite duology from the bestselling author of the Land of Roar series

Critic reviews

“If you like ghost stories that do not keep you awake at night, this is a great choice. The story is funny and warm, and not being afraid to be different. Lively and engaging, if readers are kept awake by this, it will only be for the pleasure of finishing it.” – Sunday Times

'Spooktacular fun! Funny, exciting, epic – I loved it!'
Sam Copeland, bestselling author

‘This is totally and utterly brilliant. Can’t put it down!’

‘I know Jenny’s gazillions of fans are going to LOVE this piratey, ghosty adventure. You'll be sucked in from the first page. If you haven't already, you should buy a copy immediately!’ Jennifer Killick, author of Crater Lake and Dread Wood.

‘This Dead Good Detectives duology is more than just a dead good read… it’s a gripping, rip-roaring, unmissable adventure!’ The Lancashire Evening Post

PRAISE FOR THE LAND OF ROAR
