This is an upper elementary school book. The plot does have some scary stuff that
might not be good for the primary years.
However if you consider the Grimm fairy tales, this is pretty tame. Goyle is not a gargoyle, he is a
grotesque. His task is to protect his
wards.
Goyle takes his job very seriously.
The Boneless King comes into play and threatens Goyle’s
wards. Goyle is befriended by Viola who
can see and hear him even though most mortals can not do either. Goyle’s wisp, his disembodied form, is of a
young boy in a hoodie who looks moderately disreputable. Goyle’s stone form is
a typical gargoyle looking form, wings, claws and fangs.
Viola and Goyle work together to defeat the Boneless King
and protect Goyle’s wards.
I liked the book and will be sharing it with my
grandchildren.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
