About the book – Sophie Spirit And The Batting Manor Mystery

Sophie Spirit, a deaf girl of unusual appearance, due to a rare medical condition, has spent her whole young life in London.

Unexpectedly, she finds herself living in a country village where she meets Humphrey, son of Lord and Lady Beaumont. It quickly becomes apparent that Humphrey will not be the only child she meets, when she is visited by three spirits who, when alive, were the children of the Beaumont’s ancestors.

Join Sophie as she experiences spooky, unnatural goings on and seeks to help Humphrey and his family combat the evil working against them ….
