|summary=Gargoyles are wonderful things – and they can be dangerous too. But for Liam, facing a grandmother who's forgotten who she is, an older sister who's skipping school, and a mum who drinks to cope, it's worth the risk. He's going to ask Stonebird for help.

People keep telling Liam he's the man of the house since his dad walked out on the family and went to live with his girlfriend in Australia, even though that's quite a burden to put on the shoulders of a ten-year-old. He tries his hardest to live up to everyone's expectations, but it's not easy: the family has to move house and school to be nearer Gran, who's suffering from dementia; his mum is falling apart because she simply can't cope with the pain of losing her remaining parent in this way, and his older sister is more interested in her new boyfriend than anything Liam's going through. And that's before the usual new kid in school bullying begins.
