Publisher's Summary

Meet Billy Bones.

He's dead.

Literally.

Finding himself in the Afterlife, ten year old Billy must wait to be recycled back into the Livingworld. Meanwhile, he's stuck trying to figure out how he's supposed to survive in this backwards existence where sunlight burns, the dead are living, and the memories of his past lives are stored in a secret book.

The problem is that Billy's has been stolen, and now he has to find it and discover why the dreaded Reaper is after him.

You don't need to be a kid to enjoy this book!

Billy Bones is a delightfully fun middle-reader!!!
I loved how lively the After-Life actually is, starting with Billy Bones finding a wet dog (Goliath) waiting for him, which he assumes must have been his dog at some point in his short young life... Billy has few memories of his Livingworld but he does remember having a dog that had drowned...
You'll want to watch your back too, because there are crooks, and a cemetery to explore after dark, where evil is lurking...
And wow, whoever thought that the narrator should be RC Bray... whoever it was, They Were BRILLIANTLY correct!!  I don't know how RC Bray did it, but he pulled off being a kid again! He's brilliant!
***Serious as a Heart Attack... take it from me. You don't need to be a kid to enjoy this book!

What a little gem!

Came across this a few days ago, as was searching out stuff narrated by my favourite narrator, the Legend that is R C Bray! Well what a great little story! I sampled it first and got hooked right on in 😄. Theres some LOL moments right from the off, cute, fun and kinda thought provoking! Loved it! Mr Bray, perfect for the job as usual
