Maphead

If you could go anywhere--do anything--where would you go? What would you do? This is the dilemma facing MapHead, a boy from a parallel dimension called the Subtle World. On his own without his father for the first time, he materializes in a parking garage in Rubytown. He is soon drawn to the Stamp family, for whom, he feels, he has a vital task to perform. But what? And how? Maphead quickly makes friends with Jack Stamp, but in doing so crosses a boundary that should not be crossed. Using his powers to flash maps across his head is one thing; using them to intrude in people's lives is something else. That can only cause problems--big problems.... Funny, intriguing, moving, this sequel to the award-winning MapHead reveals novelist Lesley Howarth at her dazzling best.
