Liam doesn't remember what his grandma was like before she became ill. He only knows the witch-like old woman who snaps and snarls and eats her birthday cards. He wants to fix it, but he can't. Walking his dog one day, Liam discovers an old stone gargoyle in a rundown church, and his life changes in impossible ways. The gargoyle is alive. It moves unseen in the night, acting out Liam's stories. And stories can be dangerous things...Seeking revenge against the bullies at his new school, Liam tells a story about the gargoyle attacking them. When one of them ends up in hospital, a regretful Liam vows never to go near the gargoyle again. But his grandma's illness is getting worse, his mum isn't coping, and his sister is skipping school...What if the gargoyle is the only thing that can save Liam's family? 650 0 $a Moving, Household $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Gargoyles $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Dementia $x Family relationships $x Family relationships $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Grandparent and child $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Dysfunctional families $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Bullying in schools $v Juvenile fiction. 941 $a 5 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207013146.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204081137.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110063053.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006090534.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20151023010828.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D25D56C60F111E59DE6DDEEDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
