Description
A hilarious tale of history come to life. From the nation's favourite storyteller,
Michael Morpurgo, best-selling author of War Horse.
Living with a ghost can have its difficulties, I discovered, even if he is your friend.
Remember Sir Walter Raleigh, who laid his cloak in a puddle so Queen Elizabeth I could walk across? Well, Bess meets his ghost and finds out she's his ancestor!
How will Bess explain Sir Walter to her family? Especially when he breaks her brother's fishing rod, steals a horse and smokes cigars in her room?
My Friend Walter is a uniquely funny story, perfect for reluctant readers, from the author of War Horse.
