Harvey Angell

HARVEY ANGELL is a very fun and interesting story written by Diana Henry..It is about a strange young man who moved into a very sad boarding house and lets loose a whole chain of strange events and emotions..The story is like this.... Henry,an orphaned lad,lives with his stingy and miserable aunt who runs a boarding house where the guests all do as she says.Aunt Agatha likes her boarders short, to fit in the tiny attic space she rents out, and small, so they won't eat more than two slices of toast in the morning. When Harvey Angell moves in, he fits the bill perfectly. He's small, and best of all, he never eats breakfast.
Life revolves around school dinners until one day a new lodger called Harvey Angell turns up and turns everything upside down. Harvey Angell claims to be 'a kind of electrician', but he is really a 'homer' - one who makes connections between the living and the dead so that their homes will be happier. Henry has been missing his parents, killed in an accident, and throughout the book we get short bits about his feelings of anger at his mum's leaving him. Because no one talks to him, those have to be repressed. Aunt Agatha refuses to talk about her loss too, and it is only at the end, after Harvey Angell has made all the 'connections', that she tells Henry about her little boy who died when he was four.....there are now 3 titles of HARVEY ANGELL already.no.1 Harvey Angell no.2 Harvey Angell and the Ghost Child no.3 Harvey Angell Beats Time..
