Ed
3 primary works
Book 1
Ed and his friend Zack are on holiday in London. While Ed keeps noticing the particularly friendly and intelligent rats coming out of the cellars, Zack is more interested in the drugs on offer from rather more human rats.
Following a rat into an abandoned underground station, Ed finds himself on a weird journey into London's sewers and the forgotten River Fleet. Here he encounters mystical owls and Victorian sewer workers, but also the power to take on the drug-pushers who threaten to destroy the city's youth.
In a stunningly dramatic climax worthy of Stephen King, Ed calls on ancient powers in a final confrontation with the evil drug baron.
Book 3
Book 4
Edric's mother unexpectedly disappears and soon another woman has moved in with his father and persuaded him to send Ed from London to live with his grandad in Shropshire. Ed doesn't fit in and is bullied mercilessly by a gang led by Mitch Craven.
Ed soon learns of the Witch of Mitchell Fold. In this local legend, the fairy spell that gave the villagers a magical source of milk was broken by a jealous witch named Mitchell - in revenge the locals buried Mitchell alive in a stone circle. Visiting the stone circle Ed has a supernatural encounter with the witch and discovers that by confronting Mitch he can free both her and himself.
Luring Mitch and gang to the stone circle, Ed and friend Zack provoke a final horrific scene in which the witch recognises the bully as her own descendant.
