Harvey Angell

There's a mysterious, magical new lodger at gloomy 131 Ballantyre Road: Harvey Angell, whose bright beaming, thousand-watt smile can somehow cheer the most miserable people - even cross, penny-pinching Aunt Agatha! From the moment Harvey walks through the front door, Henry knows there's something very strange and special about his new friend. But where does he disappear to late at night? And why does he have an unusual clock, that tells the time in centuries and years, rather than hours and minutes? Henry's determined to find out Harvey Angell's marvellous secret . . .

Reviews

An original mixture of mystery thriller, ghost story and fantasy

—— Daily Telegraph

Sharp and quirky

—— Independent

A lovely book - funny, imaginative and both clever and comforting

—— Sunday Telegraph

Grant's pacing in Urban Legends is impeccable . . . just a perfect end to the series . . . I can’t recommend Urban Legends and its predecessors highly enough

—— A Fantastical Librarian

Make[s] the kind of breathtaking journey I wanted to begin again the moment I'd finished

—— Awfully Big Reviews

Thrilling and chilling - but don't read it when home alone.

—— Amanda Craig , New Statesman

A suitably creepy tale of murder and urban exploration

—— Crime Review

The build-up of tension is so excellently handled that the desire to know what happens next has to be set against the fear that the revelation of what lies ahead is going to shock us well out of our comfort zone . . . she certainly knows how to play with a reader's nervous system

—— Robert Dunbar , INIS

A treat: original, beautifully written and very enjoyable

—— New Welsh Review

A darn good adventure.

—— Publishers Weekly, starred review

This novel is a chilling ghost story, a gripping adventure, and a heartwarming look at the often-painful pull of adulthood.

—— School Library Journal
