The Woodhouse Pendant by Neil Cawtheray
A story of two schoolboys growing up in Leeds in 1951, who find the area between Woodhouse Ridge and Woodhouse Moor a place of endless fascination. In this, the third book in the series, the Woodhouse Boys try to find answers to some intriguing questions. Can a simple pendant really possess magical qualities? How can you be taken seriously if you have a speech impediment every time you pronounce the letter `S', especially as the girl that you're trying to impress just happens to be called Susan? Why does attempting to join the Boy Scouts prove to be so difficult? And why has Auntie Brenda stopped making jam?
