Especially when no one else but you knows he’s ALIVE? Twelve-year-old Katherine Newberry can tell you all about life with a gargoyle. Hes naughty. He gets people into trouble. He howls at the moon, breaks statues and tramples flowers to bits, all the while making it look like you did it! He likes to throw apple cores and stick his tongue out at people when they aren’t looking. How do you get rid of a gargoyle? Do they help the gargoyle leave for good? If you’re like Katherine and her parents, after getting to know him, you might really want him to stay.Of Related InterestThe Gargoyle at the GatesPhilippa DowdingThe Strange Gift of Gwendolyn GoldenPhilippa DowdingMac on the Road to MarseilleChristopher WardJake and the Giant HandPhilippa DowdingMyles and the Monster OutsidePhilippa DowdingContributorsPhilippa DowdingPhilippa Dowding is an award-winning children’s author, a poet, musician and a copywriter.
