Zach wants to go home. His new house opposite the churchyard and his tiny village school are nothing like the London life he misses. But when he comes across a confused and lonely gargoyle in the graveyard, Zach finds himself in the middle of a strange, exciting and sometimes terrifying adventure. Can Zach and his friends help Gladstone the Gargoyle to go back to his seat on the church tower before it's too late?
This is a charming and delightful trilogy of children's stories, beautifully written, engaging and engrossing. I suspect that many of those above the suggested age range, (parents, older siblings) will also read them with pleasure. I certainly did!
