The Great Harlequin Grim

Glenn Jackson's world has fallen apart. He has a new home, a new school and all the problems that go with being the new face in a close-knit Lake District village. His mum has disappeared and Glenn's dad isn't answering his questions.

But from the moment Glenn meets untidy, bewitching Laura, he falls under her spell.

And then there is Harlequin, the boy giant. He lives rough in an abandoned shack and disguises himself with an old felt hat and clown's make-up. After Harlequin saves him from falling into a disused slate quarry, Glenn starts to win his trust and comes closer to uncarthing the tragedy that Harlequin is running from. But their growing friendship takes a dramatic and heart-breaking turn...
