For those looking for somethIng for an 8 - 10 year old with an adventurous attitude to reading. Meet Boy - often shunned, mocked and taunted for his seeming difference - his posture a permanent stoop. He longs to be seen as a normal boy, so when the strange traveller Secundus turns up on his way to Rome where prayers may be answered, Boy joins him. But neither Boy nor Secundus are as they seem and "the key to hell picks all locks". I loved it.
