Description

It was over coffee and biscuits that Grandma Ives offered to return Cameron's father from the dead...

Cameron never came to visit his grandma while his dad was alive-and he's just discovered the reason. Sent to stay with her after his father's death, Grandma Ives soon reveals their family's extraordinary abilities and introduces him to the dark side of Edinburgh he never knew existed-the Daemon Parallel.

Into Edinburgh's daemon underworld, Cameron is sent on dangerous missions to find the ingredients for an ancient spell that will bring his dad back to life. Cameron befriends a werewolf, bargains with a giant bat-like beast, and struggles to escape the clutches of a powerful spider daemon. Will he survive long enough to finish the resurrection spell? Who can he trust in a world where nothing is as it appears?

(Ages 8-12)

Advance Praise

'This book is absolutely brilliant ... It's like watching the adventure first hand, as if you were a fly on the wall, so to speak. It's one of those books that when it ends you feel a great sense of loss ... This book has everything from quick fire humour, which really make you chuckle, to some fantastic action sequences, which are really well written ... This is a great debut book and one that will fly high into my top five reads of this year.'
