Description
SOMETIMES ALL YOU NEED IS A TALKING GOAT!
In Dravenloch, music can tame monsters, heal the wounded, and rally armies. But eleven-year-old Ned Numbles is the worst bard apprentice anyone has ever seen. His off-key singing terrifies livestock and breaks instruments. When an ancient force known as the Crooner Below starts using music to control monsters and steal voices, it is Ned's gloriously terrible music that might be the only thing strong enough to fight back. Accompanied by a sarcastic talking goat, Ned sets off on a journey full of danger, mystery and a host of incompatible creatures.
Blending big adventure, laugh-out-loud humour, and a heartfelt message about embracing your flaws, No Tune Ned is a story about finding your voice, even when the world tells you to stay quiet.

Reviews
'A lovely, whimsical, utterly original adventure. Pitch perfect. And the goat had me laugh out loud. Bravo!' Iqbal Hussain, The Night I Borrowed Time
'No Tune Ned by Oliver Lendon is a powerful and toe-tapping adventure that teaches us that imperfection can be more important, and more human, than being precise. The story and world building are awe-inspiring and the reader will fall in love with Ned, Yara and Clove (who might be the best goat in all literary fiction).'
Christopher Galvin,, The Thing About Giants
'An exciting story brimming with magical music, fascinating monsters and the world's most sarcastic talking goat, told with real heart. Perfect for any young reader who feels 'different' or 'wrong', it proves that being true to yourself can be the most powerful gift of all.'
Anna February, The Hive and the Swarm
