About the Book | Reading Guide | Competition | Reader Reviews
Hallam Foe, a confused and sweetly old-fashioned teenager, is in no doubt that his father and wicked stepmother are responsible for his mother’s suicide and, subsequently, must be watched at all times. In fact, he may as well spy on everyone else at the same time.
However Hallam’s mastery of treehouses, telescopes and dead badgers arouses suspicion and, after a rather unfortunate incident, he’s banished to Edinburgh’s medieval Old Town. Set adrift his voyeurism becomes more dangerous. But Hallam is inventive and ceaselessly romantic and soon skylights, drainpipes and curtain rails will have potential beyond his wildest dreams.

The Scotsman
‘Superb…unusually exciting [and] amusing’
Scotland on Sunday
‘A gripping and unsettling portrait of disturbed youth which is also very funny’
