Thunderstruck

Written by Ali Sparkes

Narrated by Rosie Jones

What if your new best friend was a ghost? Getting struck by lightning isn't exactly how Alisha and Theo planned to get out of sports day. Surviving the strike makes them see life differently. It also makes them notice Doug and Lizzie. Struck by lightning under that same tree in 1975, the two teenagers have been hanging out there ever since. But something sinister is going on at school - although only Theo and Alisha seem to be able to see it. Are these phantoms really the harbingers of doom for all the kids at Beechwood Junior?

Before she became an author, Ali worked as a singer, journalist, magazine editor, assistant to a juggling unicyclist, and comedy columnist on BBC Radio. Ali describes herself as, at heart, an 11-year-old boy, and as a child spent a lot of time building forts, climbing trees, and digging up stuff. 

Reviews for Thunderstruck

[CyborgJellyfish · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The narration was brilliant, paced correctly and pronounced to the point where speed is adjustable if necessary. While I try not to give spoilers, I can say that the story was engaging from the first chapter. I highly recommend this audiobook. I'm certainly going to be coming back to this in the future.
