It’s not always easy being Death: a witty and gloriously gothic tale of friendship and discovery from bestselling Jenni Spangler.
Twelve-year-old Valentine Crow has lived his entire life at the Foundling Hospital. Now, he and his best friend Philomena are leaving to begin their new lives as apprentices – but Valentine has been assigned to Death himself. Valentine finds himself in an impossible situation when his best friend’s name appears on the list of souls to take. Can he fight Death to save her soul, or does fate have other ideas?
Distinctive, warm and funny, the highly-acclaimed Jenni Spangler returns with a richly imagined world perfect for listeners of The Beast and the Bethany and Lemony Snickett.
Jenni Spangler writes children’s books with a magical twist, she loves to take real and familiar places and events and add a layer of mystery and hocus-pocus. Her debut novel The Vanishing Trick was selected as Waterstones Children's Book of the Month and widely acclaimed. Jenni lives in Staffordshire with her husband and two children. She loves old photographs, picture books and tea, but is wary of manhole covers following an unfortunate incident.
