Silo the Seer
Author
Veronica Peyton
Ten-year-old Silo Zyco hasn't had the easiest start to life. His father was (probably) 'Aquinus the Accursed' - wanted for dog-theft, where abouts unknown. His relatives all perished in a disaster involving a terrible wave and lots of mud. All he has inherited is the family reputation for thieving, and webbed feet.
