"668599 was an old K6-style, red telephone kiosk, sited just off the junction; set back among a copse of trees, along the main road through the little Hertfordshire village of Long Marston. She'd stood on this spot since 1943, having been erected just after the end of the Second World War."

Once the heart of every community throughout Great Britain, the currant-red telephone boxes like 668599 had been a lifeline, there for life's celebrations and commiserations, the highs and lows and calling the late night taxi to get safely home. As the mobile phone found its way into every bag and pocket, the role of the once grand K6 kiosks sadly declined. Many were sold, others left to fall into disrepair.

But for some, there was a new lease of life waiting and when a poet discovered abandoned 668599, a new adventure began. Some say inanimate objects can't have feelings, but when people come together and bring joy and happiness, maybe it ignites a spark ...

Perfect for junior readers and to be enjoyed by all ages who know there are magical moments of joy to be found if you look in the right places.

Paul Eccentric is known for his poetry and performances at festivals throughout the UK. This is his first book aimed at children with his sense of humour and wit shining through. 668599 is brought to life in fun, full colour illustrations by Samantha Sweetland.
