Can No-Tune Ned and his talking goat defeat the Crooner Below?

In Dravenloch, music can tame monsters, heal the wounded, and rally armies. But ten-year-old Ned Numbles is the worst bard apprentice anyone has ever seen. His off-key singing terrifies livestock and breaks instruments. When an ancient force known as the Crooner Below starts using music to control monsters and steal voices, it is Ned’s gloriously terrible music that might be the only thing strong enough to fight back. But he can’t do it alone. He needs a cynical, wildly well-informed talking goat to give him courage and instructions. No one can fight monsters on their own.

Blending big adventure, laugh-out-loud humour, and a heartfelt message about embracing your flaws, No-Tune Ned is a story about finding your voice, even when the world tells you to stay quiet.

A proper adventure with cliffhangers, explosions and surprises galore, including some particularly enjoyable twists at the end, and a fair bit of social comment too. Rory Walker has fun with the illustrations and there’s lots to enjoy in this madcap story.’
