Gr 6–9—In this sequel to Heap House (Overlook, 2014), the tides of the Heap have turned, and James Henry Hayward, formerly a bath plug, is in possession of Clodius Iremonger, formerly a strange young man, now a half sovereign coin. James Henry does not, at the start, know the significance of the coin he holds, only that he shouldn't lose it. Hunger overtakes him, though, and he sorrowfully spends it on a bun and a pie. Thus, Clod is introduced to life as an object, as he begins to hear the woes of the other coins in the cash drawer. Meanwhile, Lucy Pennant is renewed to her human form in the presence of a bizarre new character called Binadit, a man made of trash who lives in the Heaps. This is the story of Clod and Lucy trying to find their way back to one another, of James Henry Hayward's search for his family, and the revelation of the heartbreaking background of Binadit. Black-and-white illustrations by the author are absolutely unsettling, and are integral to the story. The cliff-hanger ending is even more dramatic than in the first installment. Due to the extremely original, (and yes, very weird) nature of the tale, it's imperative that readers start with the first book to be able to make any sense of this volume. VERDICT Fans of Heap House will be thrilled with this sequel—it shines with heart and creativity.—Mandy Laferriere, Fowler Middle School, Frisco, TX

The walls that keep the muck in are buckling, rubbish is spilling over the top, back into the city that it came from. In the Iremonger family offices, Grandfather Umbitt Iremonger broods: in his misery and fury at the people of London, he has found a way of making everyday objects assume human shape, and turning real people into objects.Abandoned in the depths of the Heaps, Lucy Pennant has been rescued by a terrifying creature, Binadit Iremonger - more animal than human. She is desperate and determined to find Clod. But unbeknownst to her, Clod has become a golden sovereign and is 'lost'. He is being passed as currency from hand to hand all around Foulsham, and yet everywhere people are searching for him, desperate to get hold of this dangerous Iremonger, who, it is believed, has the power to bring the mighty Umbitt down.But all around the city, things, everyday things, are twitching into life. Dark, gothic and delightfully macabre, the Iremonger family return. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781471401633
