Aubrey

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!

The first children's book from Horatio Clare, the award-winning author of 'Running for the Hills', 'A Single Swallow' and 'Down to the Sea in Ships', is a compelling story of Aubrey saving his father, with the help of the wild animals of Rushing Wood. It tackles the difficult subject of depression with verve and vigour, in a book that is both a touching family story and a thrilling adventure.
