But now something strange is happening. For the first time, Mouse seems to be able to communicate with the living. The head gardener’s teenage son, Luke, has seen him.
Overwhelmed, Mouse tries to find a way to communicate with him. But before he can, Luke’s friend Matilda – a sad girl who has often been seen alone in the graveyard – goes missing.

Leaning on the other spirits in the military cemetery, whose sad past lives are gradually revealed, Mouse is determined to find Matilda.
But the outcome may not be what he was hoping for…
Will Mouse find a way to speak to Luke? Can he help discover what happened to Matilda?
And will the Brookwood ghosts finally find peace?
