Oh, what fun to make a new friend! When a pair of siblings meet a peculiar fellow, is he imaginary… or something more?
Eight-year-old Josie doesn't expect she'll ever grow up. So she thinks nothing of spending sunny afternoons playing with her brother Morgan and their adorable dog Spike. But after she climbs an oak tree during hide and seek, she's shocked when a mysterious voice demands to know what she's doing in his branches.
Stunned when the pint-sized man shows his face, Josie nearly falls over in astonishment as he hops down a ladder plucked from his eccentric hat. And bursting with excitement about the wee gent, she's upset when she gets home and her mom thinks she's telling stories.
Can Josie and her brother convince their mother their quirky new pal is real by unleashing playful mayhem?

Autorentext
James began dabbling in writing in 2001 with many of his first books going to 5th and 6th editions.
In August 2021 he wrote The Musings of the Milliner for and featuring his niece and nephew in Scotland. Little did he know that this book would be the start of The Magical Misadventures of Mr Milliner series (now containing seven books).
His next series was the much-loved Adventures of Albert Mouse, featuring Dartmouth's most fa-mouse resident, Albert Mouse.
James has now written over 30 children's books.
To try and explain where his stories come from would be impossible and not even James can explain it. His writing process is as unorthodox and quirky as his books are magical and mind-transporting.
James pens a weekly email entitled Letters from the Oak Tree where he talks about writing, books, and basically anything and everything else.
