September 2013 Debut of the Month Fantasy and magical realism combine in this, the first in a superb gothic trilogy which will appeal to fans of Lemony Snicket - and future fans of the Gormenghast series. A boy called Clod with a special talent is born into a rather secretive, mean and cruel family in a place called The Heaps. When he meets a girl, the secrets and lies begin to unravel and the dark truth of the family threatens to destroy Clod.
Author Edward Carey brings his story to life with exquisite and ghoulish illustrations to complement his intricately created world which readers will be swept up by.
In addition to our Lovereading expert opinion for Heap House a small number of children were lucky enough to be invited to review this title. Here's a taster....'It's exciting and has a brilliant cliffhanger ending. This is an absolutely fantastic book and I'm itching to read the next in the trilogy.'

Clod is an Iremonger. He lives in the Heaps, a vast sea of lost and discarded items collected from all over London. At the centre is Heap House, a puzzle of houses, castles, homes and mysteries reclaimed from the city and built into a living maze of staircases and scurrying rats. The Iremongers are a mean and cruel family, robust and hardworking, but Clod has an illness.
