Matthew is a normal eleven year old boy living with his parents and little sister in Surrey. He's too old and sensible to have an imaginary friend really. Yet when Matthew's parents keep finding him talking and arguing with a strange presence whom Matthew calls Chocky, that's what they believe it must be . . . . at first.

But Chocky is oddly sinister, and keeps asking Matthew all sorts of complicated questions about the world and making him behave in unusual and erratic ways. Then Matthew suddenly does something heroic, well beyond his capabilities; the media become interested and the interest in Matthew widens. His parents refer him to a psychologist. Who is Chocky? And what could he or she want with their son?

Told from the viewpoint of Matthew's sympathetic father, the reader is Daniel Weyman - an accomplished and experienced audiobook narrator. Other recent credits include the new television series of Foyles War, and the role of Miss Havisham's brother in a new film adaptation of Dickens' Great Expectations releasing in 2013.

Reviews

"Remains fresh and disturbing in an entirely unexpected way"
"I had forgotten just how real this 1951 classic seems - and am impressed by how eerily relevant it now appears."
" Very cleverly, Alex Jennings's narration enhances the story by capturing in his vocal modulations the period atmosphere."
