When Cisco Collins returns to his home town thirty years after saving it from being swallowed by a hell mouth opened by an ancient pirate ghost, he realises that being a childhood hero isn't like it was in the movies. Especially when nobody remembers the heroic bits - even the friends who once fought alongside him. Struggling with single parenting and treated as bit of a joke, Cisco isn't really in the Christmas spirit like everyone else. A fact that's made worse by the tendrils of the pirate's powers creeping back into our world and people beginning to die in bizarre ways. With the help of a talking fox, an enchanted forest, a long-lost friend haunting his dreams, and some 80s video game consoles turned into weapons, Cisco must now convince his friends to once again help him save the day. Yet they quickly discover that being a ghostbusting hero is so much easier when you don't have schools runs, parent evenings, and nativity plays to attend. And even in the middle of a supernatural battle, you always need to bring snacks and wipes...

Oh Boy….this book this book right here will take you back. Back to your childhood you‘ve since lost. The author gets it all right every single aspect. This was such a fun book and fun read. Imagine a sequel to goonies, the lost boys, ghostbusters now with them aging and having to do the same heroic things while being a parent. I will love this book forever.

🎧 Felt like a cross between Ghostbusters, Shaun of the Dead & Peter Pan for different reasons & feelings.

No zombies but as I read I could easily imagine Simon Pegg as Cisco.

Maybe it‘s the British narrator?

Cisco returns to his childhood home 30 years after he saved his hometown from certain disaster only to have been all but forgotten. Then he saves it again … as a dad … doing daddy things.

Fun & cute & Simon Pegg should DO IT!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
