Feather Boy

Blurb

Feather boy is a novel by Brighton-based author Nicky Singer; it was first published in 2002 by HarperCollins, under the Collins imprint. The story is about Robert Nobel, a boy who despairs of his newly divorced parents. Robert is the butt of classroom jokes and a victim of Niker, the classroom bully. Robert is haunted by dreams that seem to tell the future as well as the past. His life changes when a storyteller, Catherine, invites some of his class to Mayfield Rest Home, a place Robert has already dreamed about.
A strange old lady, Edith Sorrel, sends him on a quest to solve the mystery of the derelict Chance House, which has a ghoulish legend attached to it.
