A boy has to come to terms with his mother’s new man while being haunted by a ghost and learning about the Aberfan disaster. In between, he builds a tree house, collects dog poo for a booby trap, and plays computer games with his best friend. I’m not entirely sure who the novel’s target audience is – the main character is nine years old, but the story feels as if it needs a slightly more mature reader to get the full weight of what is happening, and the ending is rather spiritual. Some of the descriptive writing is great. I particularly like Tomos leaving the sweetcorn in his dinner 'all over his plate like wounded men in a tomato fight'. However, overall, I’m not entirely sure I bought the premise. It seems to me unlikely that a child who’d grown up in Aberfan (as Tomos’ best friend did) would be unaware of the disaster that occurred 50 years ago. And, while the book talks often of mobile phones, computer games and current movies, the children (though only nine) are given remarkable Famous Five-like freedom in their summer holidays. Nonetheless, it’s a lively and speedy read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58820123361654,"sku":"9781785621703","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0041\/5340\/9585\/files\/9781785621703_a0704fe7-ed47-4de5-a2a2-7f427678068a.jpg?v=1790354495","url":"https:\/\/www.siopypentan.co.uk\/products\/the-valley-of-whispers-9781785621703","provider":"Siop Y Pentan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
