OLDER FICTION
(2) YA After his mother and stepfather are killed in a flood, Andy runs away to live with his irresponsible dad in a squalid Halifax rooming house. They are joined by the Sheehogue--Irish fairies who occasionally pop in to stir up mischief or offer some assistance. This subtle element adds a touch of fantasy to a satisfying novel featuring well-developed characters who are never aware of the role the fairies play in their lives.
