Publisher's Summary:

Petty Potts' most recent repto SWITCH spray doesn't seem to be working ... not that Josh and Danny were all that excited about being chameleons anyway - alligators would be way better! Plus, they're distracted by the mystery of who is sending them clues to find marbles filled with scientific code. But at school the next day, time seems to be going too fast for the twins, and when one of Danny's eyeballs rolls right round in its socket, they know things are getting weird.

While Danny is distracted by the leafy coolness of his teacher's pot plant, Josh is causing a stir in PE, escaping the class bullies by climbing right up to the top of the gym ropes! How long will it be before the boys are boys again? And will they be able to find the next marble (and get their own back on those bullies) in the meantime?

It's a very tiny island, and it is very hard work trying to scratch a living there. The sea feeds the people of Bryher.

Billy, fourteen years old and bored with the unending milking routine, is feeling the strain. So, when the General Lee, bound for New York, calls at St. Mary's for repairs to the mizzen mast Billy secures his passage as a cabin boy. He has left the islands before his parents know anything about it. Laura has lost her twin brother. She is devastated. Her parents are also devastated. They have lost their only son. And ill fortune besets the family. They lose their cows. It's a very bad time. Everyone is hungry and families start to drift away from Bryher. Things seem hopeless for Laura's family until the Zanzibar is wrecked and washes up on the island....

Publisher's Summary:

If you haven't met a Moomin yet, you're in for the most magical fun! The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Tove Jansson's endearing classic, Moominpappa at Sea, read with warmth (and some lively character voices) by the comedian Hugh Dennis. A Moomintroll is small and shy and fat, and has a Moominpappa and a Moominmamma. Moomins live in the forests of Finland. One day Moominpappa is feeling at a loss. He has no idea what to do with himself because it seems everything has already been done. So he takes his family off to start a new life in a lighthouse on a tiny, rocky island far out to sea. It's rather quiet and lonely at first, but as they begin to explore their unusual surroundings the Moomins discover some funny and surprising new things about themselves.

Critic Reviews:

"They seem to grow in wisdom and delight every time I read them." (Philip Pullman)

Tove Jansson is undoubtedly one of the greatest childrens writers there has ever been. She has the extraordinary gift of writing books that are very clearly for children, but can also be enjoyed when the child, like me, is over sixty and can still find new pleasures with the insights that come from adulthood. (Sir Terry Pratchett)

A lost treasure now rediscovered . . . A surrealist masterpiece. (Neil Gaiman)

Members Reviews:

A darker Moomin...

Overall very enjoyable - although it took a while to get used to Moominpappa's Yorkshire accent...

This is a darker story - of loss, discontent and loneliness - well narrated and very engaging.

Title: The Clumsy Ghost and Other Spooky Tales

Author: Alastair Jessiman, Edward Ferrie, Margaret Ferrie, David Angus

Narrator: Sean Barrett, Harry Somerville, Anne-Marie Piazza, Thomas Eyre

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-03-11

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

In this entertaining anthology of seven new ghost stories, written especially for Naxos AudioBooks, we meet all kinds of phantoms in different situations: a kind-hearted but accident-prone spectre unwittingly upsetting a family home, as well as ghosts in ancient Egypt, on board a pirate ship, and in a Newcastle swimming pool. Engaging and slightly sinister, The Clumsy Ghost and Other Spooky Tales is a delightful shiver for all the family.

Editorial Reviews:

These seven ghost stories were written specially for Naxos AudioBooks, and the production is first-class. Excellent writing and perfect narrations are a common thread among the tales of historical ghosts, an accident-prone ghost, and spirits from ancient Egypt. Sean Barrett offers a perfectly tuned narration of "The Clumsy Ghost." Gorgeous classical music adds to the atmosphere and presentation. In "Unable To Connect," Anne-Marie Piazza portrays a girl whose dying mother tries to reach her on a phone with a ringtone from Swan Lake. The music adds to the heartbreak. Each casting is sublime, all dialogue is smooth and clear, and the narrators are memorable. The stories, which also touch on bravery and lost opportunity, are ideal for family listening.
