By Pat Walsh
Will, an orphan living at Crowfield Abbey, rescues and injured hob in the forest. The hob, secretly cared for by Will in the monastery, tells the boy about an angel buried in the forest. The bleak 14th-century wilderness is the perfect backdrop to a frightening and tension-filled battle against evil as Will searches for the grave. The dialogue is crisp and at times endearing, in a world peopled by enigmatic characters.
