Check Out Grahams Grief (Graham The Gargoyle #1) Planned By Brian Clopper Distributed In Electronic Text

was a fun story, This is the first story I've read by Brian suggested to me by Keith Robinson, he was right Brian knows how to tell

a story.
For me this story didn't have as many twists and turns as I usually like, but he made up for it in the flow of the book.
Once I started it, I didn't put it down because I was captivated in the story, Brian was able to bring the characters to life quickly and more importantly have them become believable.
. I was impressed and will give the second book a go while referring this book on to my daughter, I'm sure she'll love it.
Thanks Brian for a great adventure!! I wasnt sure what to expect from Graham the Gargoyle, since I hadnt previously read any stories about Gargoyles, but I was pleasantly surprised.
This was a great, lighthearted chapter book for younger readersor so, depending on reading level, I read it on my own first, and then with my eight year old son who absolutely loved it.


Graham and his troll buddy Ot are loveable characters that kids can relate to,

Graham the Gargoyle is a quick and fun story about young Graham who is struggling to prepare for his upcoming first flight testthe measure of his true worth as a gargoyle.
Along the way, Graham uncovers family secrets that help him slowly piece together more about his mysterious grandfather and come to understand the old man better.

Beautiful little story which i would certainly read to my kids or encourage them to read themselves.


Graham is a very likeable character and because he is not flawless,
I think it'll make it easy for children to relate to him.

He shows what courage and friendship means, he loves and honors his family,
but also makes mistakes and makes up a lot of little white lies,
which get him sometimes out and sometimes deeper into trouble.

Do I approve of lying Who would say one does But looking back on my own childhood i can see myself in similar dilemmas as Graham.
The story will make you smirk and smile but also let you feel with Graham and his troubles as he is about to face two big life altering events.


I read a lot of teen and YA books and to me Grahma's Grief really feels like being made for kids.

So I would probably only recommend it to children, parents or people who genuinely enjoy tales for children.

The single chapters and overall story length is about perfect for children to read themselves! I can see my younger me reading it under the blanket
nd book is on my reading list : UPDATE OCTOBERI've read the NEWImproved Graham! More Story, great flow! This is an wonderful book for Middle Grade Readers!

Looking for a great story for middlegrade readers Take a look at this delightful tale from Brian Clopper, an author with a gift for creative storytelling! Graham the Gargoyle is an enchanting tale of a young gargoyle preparing for his big flight test while dealing with the impending death of his beloved grandfather.
Not to worry, there is nothing dark and ominous here, on the contrary, this is a sweet story of a young gargoyle, kind of an outcast, facing the same things that human children face, insecurity, impending loss and bullying and how he triumphs against the odds.
His best friend is loyal, smart and a troll, another outcast, but Ot always has Grahams back!

Grahams grandfather is dying, or “crossing over”.
By the way, for all of the pages written about gargoyles, not one ever explained what actually happens to older gargoyles, until now.
Graham learns that when a gargoyle ages, they start to become too stonelike to move and they go to the human realm to become a guardian against evil, protecting others from atop their perches on human buildings.
Seriously, what a wonderful way to help ease the fear of dying!

Brian Clopper loves his work, it shows through in his easy style of writing, the way the story unfolds and the characters from his imaginary realm of “Cascade” come to life as real as any “mortal” child.
With its short chapters, Graham the Gargoyle is a perfect book for younger readers, bedtime reading or summer reading!

This is a wonderful story to encourage reading for children! It flows smoothly, but gently challenges a young reader's mind.
Brian Clopper has done an outstanding job here!

I can't believe he over came his fears!!! The author has done a magnificent job creating a heartwarming story for elementary school children.
Younger children can listen in circle time each day to a chapter and older students can read alone.
The story involves Graham an outcast who learns an important lesson in managing fear and dealing with the death of a loved one.
Young Graham the gargoyle is about to take his first flight ever, taking part in an ageold tradition among his kind.
With the support of his troll friend Ot and a loving grandfather, Graham can only hope that his tiny wings will hold out.
Throughout the story he is plagued by a bully, further adding to his youthful stress,

This is a delightful fantasy tale for young readers, Though it takes place in a world separate from our own, it is easily relatable for youngsters.
I found Graham and Ot to be typical middle schoolers who are having a difficult time with life.
Though we tend to think of kids as being lucky, it really is difficult to be a kid.
This story illustrates that fact well, and I think kids agescan easily relate to the characters.


The story of Graham's grandfather can be appreciated by young and old alike, Though this tale is intended for kids who might not see the depth here, I certainly felt it.
I admit I had tears in my eyes as the old gargoyle transformed into a guardian of stone, the final passage of the gargoyles of Cascade.
It was a touching and well written moment, and I fully believe this author can write tales for adults as well as kids if he hasn't done so already.


There is mention that the gargoyles have left Earth because humans no longer believe in magic.
It is a warning to both young and old, imploring us to continue to believe and keep our imaginations keen.
At least, that is how I see it, Though if no one on earth believes in magic, how would a person explain the appearance of new gargoyles on churches from time to time I think there are still some who believe, and perhaps in this story it is those who tend to the churches themselves.
Perhaps there is a pact or a detail that I overlooked, In any case, I choose to believe the author intended for a select few on our planet to be aware of the magic of gargoyles.


This is an excellent story for kids and those who are still young at heart.
Young Graham reminds us to have faith in ourselves and to trust in those around us, Never forget that magic is all around us, and it is a thing of beauty, .
