Henry Hoey Hobson

Henry is drowning in the dangerous waters of Year Seven--can he and his motley crew of creeps and weirdos prove themselves to his catty classmates once and for all? Twelve-year-old Henry Hoey Hobson arrives at his sixth school, Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, to discover that he is the only boy in Year Seven. Friendless, fatherless, and non-Catholic, Henry is not only a Perpetual Sucker, but a bloodsucker, according to his classmates. When he's caught moving a coffin into the creepy house next door, it drives a stake through the heart of his hopes of fitting in. His only chance to fight back is the school swimming carnival--sink-or-swim time in the treacherous waters of Year Seven.
