It proves to be a challenging situation for all concerned, particularly Charity who is convinced Denmead is having an affair… imagine her surprise when she finds out who it is with.

His Life as a Dog

The leader of the Wolf Soldiers of the 4th Water Principal, long-time allies of Hiro's clan, needs a place to hide out and the Stitt house seems the perfect choice. Matters are complicated when Peg assumes he is a dog, the fact he is 8 feet tall, has six legs, wears a tunic and wields an axe does not seem to register. He begrudgingly plays along, stay on his mat and puts up with the indignities of the social scene at the dog park. His pursuers, the lizard-like Nephlans eventually arrive - only to find he has "gone walkies".

Prince Harming

The school turns upside down with the arrival of a Bishonen prince. He is strikingly beautiful, deeply troubled, self-obsessed and carries a parasol - he pretty much ticks all the boxes for Charity. When she falls for him, Hiro's warnings are dismissed as the ravings of a jealous fool until it is too late. Everyone must pitch in to get Charity out of this deadly jam. Carriage rides from hell and martial arts combine with French food to deliver a rich plot with a bizarre message.
