Book description

What do you do when a 400-year-old gargoyle moves into your backyard? Especially when no one else but you knows hes 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 arent looking. How do you get rid of a gargoyle? Do they help the gargoyle leave for good? If youre like Katherine and her parents, after getting to know him, you might really want him to stay. Philippa Dowding studied English at university, earning a Master of Arts degree. A freelance writer and poet, her twenty years of professional work as an award-winning copywriter have allowed her to make a living from words. The character of Gargoth of the Gargoyle trilogy was inspired by an experience in an odd antique store populated with gargoyles. Philippa lives in Toronto with her family.
