Groosham Grange follows twelve-year-old David Eliot, expelled from every other school, who is sent to a strange boarding school on a remote island where the staff and pupils are not what they seem. Anthony Horowitz drew on his own boarding-school years for the setup; the two-book series carries David from his arrival through The Unholy Grail as he's drawn deeper into the school's occult traditions and his own inherited standing as the seventh son of a seventh son.
