Once Upon a Time in Cokeworth by Kyralian starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 76]
Harry is thrilled that he is allowed to go on a holiday with his relatives, but quickly discovers it to be a trick. Instead of a trip to the seaside he expected, the boy is left on the doorstep of a scary stranger who claims to be his father.
