About the Book

Twelve-year-old schoolboy Milo Oakley Grove, aka "Bam-Bam", lives with his parents in the little village of Lapford, in the New Forest. He is popular, energetic, and full of fun. He is also curious, impetuous and prone to changing his mind. Nothing surprising about all that, perhaps. However, there is also something indefinable about him; something untamed, wild, and just a little bit primeval. And when he has a terrifying encounter with Old Man Stephens, a "two-hundred-year-old, child-eating monster" who lives alone at the "Spooky Cottage" in the woods, it sets in train a series of events which are to change his life, and those of his family, forever. What is the reason for Old Man Stephens' treatment of him when he has him alone and at his mercy? What will his parents make of their son's clandestine activities, especially now they have different worries of their own? And why does he feel strangely attracted to his best friend Ben Davies, and what will be the reaction if he finds out? The answers lie in a long-buried code for living, a fifty-year-old tragedy, dangerously revolutionary ideas held in suspended animation, and Ben's first words, which were not the meaningless toddler-babble they first appeared. And that indefinable something? A product of nature and nurture; and a much loved childhood possession which still resides in Milo's bedroom... This book is suitable for older children/teenagers and adults. Not recommended for pre-adolescents.
About the Author: Andrew Beesley was born in 1964 in Burley, in the New Forest, Hampshire, England. He has undertaken university degrees in Geology and in Biomedical Science, but writing has been a constant interest in his life. During his career he has worked in a research laboratory investigating climatic change, at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, Hampshire, England, and most recently in the NHS, where he investigates and reports on blood test results as well as providing blood transfusion services. He lives in Chandlers Ford, Hampshire, England, with his wife, Angela, and their two cats. Milo Grove is Andrew's second novel. His first novel, Khashkahan, was written in 2008 and is an unusual, fast-paced political thriller.
