Author Description

Product Description A novel which bridges fantasy and reality. A world that is half recognizable and half transformed by imagination. A girl, in danger, searching for her grandfather. A shuffling army of people living on the streets. A great tidal wave of cats. An old emporium, dust-sifted and forgotten. And overall a sense of evil and impending menace...This is the latest stunning book by Stephen Elboz, whose novel The House of Rats won the Smarties Young Judges Prize for 9-11s. Review `This is a wonderfully inventive madcap romp with a cast of oddball but entirely sympathetic characters. It is reminiscent of the best of Mervyn Peake.'TES
