About this listen

The game is called Beatie Bow, and the kids play it for the thrill of giving themselves a scare. It’s Beatie Bow, risen from the dead!

When Abigail is drawn in, the game quickly changes from a harmless little scare to an extraordinary adventure, as she is transported to a place that is strangely familiar....

And in a Sydney she barely recognises, she’ll meet the real Beatie Bow and the family that will change her life.

Compelling

Recommended by my cousin who recalled reading this amazing story at school. As an adult I found I could not stop listening. I loved it!

Beatie Bow to a new generation

I loved this book as a child and now my girls love it too. We listened to it in the car on our 40 minute drive to gymnastics four times a week. Last night we all sat in the car in our driveway because there was ten minutes left of the book and we couldn't bear to turn it off. Then we stayed in the car discussing what we think would have happened where the book left off. We were so sad it has finished! Being children from the age of Netflix, they are very indignant about there not being a sequel!
