Foulsham: Book Two (The Iremonger Trilogy)

â€œA deliciously macabre trilogy . . . channels Dickens crossed with Lemony Snicket . . . magnificently creepy.â€ â€•Kirkus (starred review)
At the Iremonger family offices in the aptly named borough of Foulsham, London's great repository of filth, Grandfather Umbitt Iremonger has found a way to make objects assume the shapes of people, and how to turn people into objects. Clod, whom he sees as a threat, has been turned into a gold coin and is being passed as currency from hand-to-hand through the town. Meanwhile, Lucy Pennant has been discarded as a clay button, abandoned in the depths of the Heaps. Will they be found and returned to human form? Enter Binadit and Rippit...Meanwhile Umbitt builds an army of animated objects to retrieve the missing gold coin. All around the city, thingâ€•ordinary thingsâ€•are twitching into life, and the reader is held in breathless suspense as questions of life and death, value and disposability, rumble through this dark and mesmerizing world. 40 b&w illustrations and illustrated endpapers
