Gavin is a lonely boy who plays alone in a creepy old churchyard, where his bullies fear to tread. When a mysterious old tinker is chased out of the village and one of his 'magic potion' bottles lands in the churchyard, Gavin soon finds himself face-to-face with a leering 200-year-old gargoyle. The ancient stone creature will change life for Gavin – and the cruel bullies – forever.
No matter what our age, we've all had moments when we felt isolated or alone. Some, like Gavin, are pushed around because they look different to others. And for anyone who has been bullied or made to feel isolated, it is heartening to see cruel bullies get their comeuppance. When this lonely boy meets an ugly stone gargoyle, it is not only their loneliness at an end – but also payback time!
A beautifully descriptive tale full of magic and fun that will charm children (and adults) of all ages.
