Aubrey and the Terrible Yoot by Horatio Clare
Longlisted for the Carnegie Medal 2017. Aubrey's father, Jim, has fallen under an horrendous spell, which Aubrey is determined to break. Everyone says his task is impossible, but Aubrey will never give up and never surrender - even if he must fight the unkillable Spirit of Despair itself: the TERRIBLE YOOT!
'Horatio Clare writes about animals as well as TH.White' - Branford Boase Judges; 'Horatio Clare has the voice of a great storytellyer. A joy, a sheer joy.'. - Michael Morpurgo; 'A treasure ... rambunctious spirit, massive heart, and a poet's eye. It's also really funny.' Frank Cottrell Boyce; 'A jewel not to be missed.' Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times
