Win up to 5 copies of Rory Bean and the Reluctant Ghosts by Trudie Thomas

For Children

Rory’s parents own and run The Gruffydd Arms in a quiet village in South Wales. It is twelve-year-old Rory’s home, and he loves living in it. So, when a ‘for sale’ sign appears, Rory is devastated.

Rory’s parents aren’t making enough money to keep the pub and then there’s the little matter of it being haunted.

Perfect for:
• Middle-grade readers aged 8–12
• Fans of spooky adventures and small-town mysteries
• Children exploring courage, problem-solving, and family bonds
• Young readers discovering friendship, loyalty, and community
• Classroom and school library reading lists

How to take part:

To enter the giveaway, just email bethan@graffeg.com with the subject line ‘RA: Rory Bean’ by 31 October 2026, letting us know how many copies your reading group would like to receive (up to 5) and your mailing address.

1 reading group will be randomly selected to each win a set of up to 5 copies of Rory Bean and the Reluctant Ghosts.
