Andrea Portes, "HENRY & EVA AND THE CASTLE ON THE CLIFF"
Monday Nov 26, 2018
Monday Nov 26, 2018
The Graveyard Book meets The Goonies in author Andrea Portes’s spooky, timeless middle grade debut .
Prominent Environmentalist and Oceanographer Die in Boating Accident
This is the headline that changes Henry’s and Eva’s lives. Their parents, prominent environmentalist William Billings (age 43) and his oceanographer wife, Margo Billings (age 39), disappear mysteriously at sea.
That day is a very, very bad day indeed.
But for Henry and Eva, things are about to go from bad to worse. Their jerk-face uncle (nickname Claude the Clod) and his awful girlfriend (Terri the Terrible) have moved into their big house on the cliff to “take care of them,” but Eva has her doubts about their intentions. All she wants is to put a smile back on Henry’s face, but with Claude skulking around, she can barely come up with a halfway decent joke or song to cheer Henry up (even though that’s her particular specialty).
What Henry and Eva don’t know yet is that they aren’t the only ones in their house who want Claude out of the picture—and when some spooky visitors appear with a message, they realize that their parents’ deaths might not have been as cut-and-dried as everyone thinks.
It’s up to Henry and Eva to discover the truth—but can they do it before the Clod catches them in the act?
