About this listen
Sell the cemetery? Over their dead bodies.... Not many people can see the dead (and not many would want to). Twelve-year-old Johnny Maxwell can. And he's got bad news for them: the council want to sell the cemetery as a building site. But the dead aren't going to take it lying down... especially since it's Halloween tomorrow.
Besides, they're beginning to find that life is a lot more fun than it was when they were... well... alive. Particularly if they break a few rules.

A brilliant read

I read Only You Can Save Mankind several times as a kid since its release, but unfortunately didn't encounter Johnny and the Dead until October 1997 via the abridged audiobook read by Tony Robinson, - as much as I loved it, it's better to have the full story.
So, Book Two sees Johnny and the gang endeavouring to help a collection of ghosts, (but don't call them ghosts 🤣), after the cemetery is threatened to be demolished.
Brilliant throwback for lifelong fans of Terry Pratchett, brimming with charm and imagination, it is a real joy to listen to this trilogy as an adult. On top of which, Richard Mitchley is absolutely superb as a narrator.

Johnny Maxwell discovers that he can speak to the dead and through him, they discover that their cemetery is due to be demolished. And they’re not going to take it lying down…
It’s well-written, the characters are great fun. There are some parts that bring a tear to my eye, even as (especially as) an adult.
The narrator does a great job with the different voices, though as another reviewer has commented, there are a couple of audio glitches here and there. But nothing so terrible that you can’t enjoy the story.
Even more profound since we lost Sir Terry…
