Benjamin Mumbles has spent his life being forgettable.
He works in a bank, apologises to furniture, owns more fishing gear than dignity, and has perfected the art of saying "yes" when every part of him means "please, no."
Then one quiet trip to Cornwall changes everything.
After catching an old, waterlogged boot from the sea, Benjamin wakes to find he is no longer alone inside his own head. Unfortunately, his new unwanted companion is Captain Jethro Tucker - a sharp-tongued, rum-loving pirate from 1724 with unfinished business, buried treasure, and absolutely no respect for Benjamin's personal boundaries.
Jethro wants his treasure back.
Benjamin wants his normal life back.
Neither of them is likely to get what they want.
Dragged into a ridiculous adventure involving Cornish legends, family secrets, suspicious villagers, graveyard clues, pub humiliation, workplace chaos, and one deeply inconvenient dead pirate, Benjamin soon discovers that treasure does not always solve problems.
Sometimes it digs up worse ones.
Funny, strange, warm, and gloriously chaotic, Benjamin Mumbles and Jethro Tucker is a comic paranormal adventure about courage, friendship, old ghosts, and one very ordinary man finally learning how to stop apologising for existing.
