'Roald Dahl by way of Charles Dickens' - Vox.com 'Dark and wildly
original urban fantasy tale' - The New York Times 'Delightful,
eccentric, heartfelt, surprising, philosophical, everything that a
novel for children should be' - Eleanor Catton, winner of the Man
Booker Prize 2013 'A rare work of individual brilliance' - Inis
magazine The Iremongers have taken up what was not wanted and
wanted it. Clod is an Iremonger. He lives in the Heaps, a vast sea
of lost and discarded items collected from all over London. At the
centre is Heap House, a puzzle of houses, castles, homes and
mysteries reclaimed from the city and built into a living maze of
staircases and scurrying rats. The Iremongers are a mean and cruel
family, robust and hardworking, but Clod has an illness. He can
hear the objects whispering. His birth object, a universal bath
plug, says 'James Henry', Cousin Tummis's tap is squeaking 'Hilary
Evelyn Ward-Jackson' and something in the attic is shouting 'Robert
Burrington' and it sounds angry. A storm is brewing over Heap
House. The Iremongers are growing restless and the whispers are
getting louder. When Clod meets Lucy Pennant, a girl newly arrived
from the city, everything changes. The secrets that bind Heap House
together begin to unravel to reveal a dark truth that threatens to
destroy Clod's world.
