Synopsis

Frankie woke up, flat on his back on a hard wooden board. He had a banging headache. That was the first thing he noticed. The second thing he noticed was that he was dead.

Teenager Frankie Stine wants to know two things: why is he dead and who brought him back to life? Also, why does he seem to have someone else’s legs?

It quickly transpires that Frankie’s death was no accident. With the help of a new friend, Frankie is soon on the trail of his killer. Can they catch him before Frankie’s parents come to any harm?

This comic horror story is written by Barry Hutchison, winner of the Scottish Children’s Book Award, 2012.

About this title

About the Author:

Barry Hutchison hails from the Highlands of Scotland, where he spends time writing screenplays, comics and scary children’s books. He is in his early thirties – but on a good day could easily pass for mid-forties – and lives happily with his long-term partner and young son.

He is tall – but not like the BFG or that – and likes seafood, comics and Elvis, though not necessarily in that order.
