| Annotation |
"Young Clod is an Iremonger. He lives at Heap House, his family's mansion at the center of the Heaps, a vast sea of lost and discarded items whose ever-shifting masses have been known to swallow people alive. The Iremongers are an odd old family, each the owner of a Birth Object they must keep with them at all times. Clod is perhaps the oddest of all--his gift and his curse is that he can hear all of the objects of Heap House whispering. Yes, a storm is brewing over Heap House. The Iremongers are growing restless and the house's many objects are showing strange signs of life. Clod is on the cusp of being 'trousered' and married off (unhappily) to his cousin Pinalippy when he meets the plucky orphan servant Lucy Pennant, with whose help he begins to uncover the dark secrets of his family's empire." -- Provided by publisher. -- Some violence. Spanish language.

"Los Iremonger son una familia peculiar. Durante generaciones han permanecido en Heap House, su laberíntica mansión, donde las jerarquías y los matrimonios vienen impuestos. En las plantas superiores vive la familia; en las inferiores, el servicio. Rodean la mansión los Cúmulos: montones de basura proveniente de todo Londres que se extienden hasta donde alcanza la vista. Todos los miembros de la familia perpetúan una tradición, la de vivir ligados a un objeto de nacimiento que deben proteger con su vida. Los objetos parecen susurrar algo, pero solo Clod Iremonger, el Escuchador, es capaz de oírlos. La llegada de Lucy Pennant, nueva sirvienta de la mansión, lo cambiará todo. Porque en el horizonte de Heap House se adivina una gran tempestad. Y los secretos de la familia Iremonger están a punto de saltar por los aires para siempre." -- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Traducido de la edición en inglés de 2013. Contiene algunas descripciones de violencia.
