Publisher's Summary

A young boy, Tineboy, is having trouble with his multiplication tables and the number seven. Bored in class one day, he falls asleep and dreams of a story told by his teacher about the number seven going mad. This leads to a world without the number seven and the confusion that comes from getting rid of a number. The schoolhouse bully and Tineboy’s own pet crow play important roles in his vivid daydream, full of intelligent wit and humor.

Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was an Irish writer of novels and short stories, most famous for his gothic horror novel Dracula. Although he wrote throughout his life while working as a personal assistant and theatre manager, he did not achieve much literary fame until after his death.

What a strange one

Imagine Lewis Carroll wrote a “Mock Turtle” type short, but about your 7 times-table. Also there’s a trickster raven and it was written by Edgar Allan Poe. It makes for a quirky and amusing tale, when the Number 7 disappears from a classroom…and from everyone’s minds. Ralph Lister does a fun job for Audible.
