The Ghost and the Goggle Box
When Roger goes with his family to clean up Uncle Arnold's ramshackle old house in Wattle Street, he finds that it is not at all an ordinary sort of place.
In fact, very strange things are happening right down Wattle Street. Everyone seems to have a secret. And soon Roger has the most fantastic secret of all: a haunted TV set, with most peculiar powers. Roger is in for an adventure he'll never forget.
For four years Duncan Ball was editor of the New South Wales School Magazine, distributed to all primary schools in the State. He learned very quickly during that time just what children love to read about, and The Ghost and the Goggle Box is one of the results of that experience. He is also the author of Selby's Secret, the riotous adventures of a talking dog.
