Billy Roberts fascinating new book Spooky Liverpool is available for pre-order now on www.merseyshop.com

Then, one day, a cartoon-like creature by the name of The Sleepy Time Keeper, takes him into the locker beside his bed, and then into a surreal world called Heswobble, peopled by crazy characters and animals that talk.

If you want to know more you'll have to read the book, published by Trinity Mirror on June 13th.
I have turned the Magic Locker into a children's musical theatre production, and Jen Heyes from Cut To The Chase Productions will be directing and presenting it at The Liverpool Empire for one week, beginning on February 17th 2009. Tickets will be on sale from the beginning of June.
Part of the proceeds from both the book and the stage show will be donated to Alder Hey's IMAGINE APPEAL.
DON'T FORGET TO BUY YOUR TICKET.
