Sam Toop lives in a funeral parlour, blessed (or c ursed) with an unusual gift. While his father buries the dead, Sam is haunted by their constant demands for attention.

And Sam is caught in the middle - will he be able to bring himself to help? Blue Peter Award winner Gareth P. Jones has woven a darkly comic story, a wonderfully funny adventure that roams the grimy streets of Victorian London. Show more
