Description
The House on the Hill has been abandoned for as long as James can remember. So when he discovers Webster, a drifter, hiding there, he's instantly curious about the story behind the homeless man. What is he running from? Afflicted by a dark curse, Webster is no longer who he used to be. But there is said to be a cure and it might just be that by helping Webster, James will find some solace of his own. Together they embark on a journey, not knowing that what they discover will impact them both in ways they never imagined... A gripping and haunting story about loss and hope, perfect for fans of Patrick Ness and David Almond. "Beautifully written in smooth, elegant prose… an absolute delight to read. I felt utterly surrounded by the story as I read... I wanted it to go on forever."BookBag "I was totally lost in the story of James.
