Advent

Gavin knew he was different but had no idea where that would lead him…

In this dark and intriguing debut, 16-year-old Gavin is suspended from school after admitting he has a friend, Miss Grey, that no one else can see who has watched over him all his life. So his parents send him to stay with his seemingly flaky aunt, but she fails to meet him at the station. When he arrives at Pendurra, a forgotten estate at the edge of England, Gavin finds questions, impossible things… and his destiny. Fans of Susan Cooper’s Dark is Rising Series or A Discovery of Witches (staff pick) by Deborah Harkness would both find something to love in this fascinating blend of history and fantasy.
