I have also developed an interest in waterpolo earlier this year. I am working towards Grade 5 for practical trumpet and music theory. My many hobbies include Irish dancing, reading, and trumpet, which have all become very important to me. I live with my sister (Abby), my mum (Kate) and my dad (David). I am 11 years old, turning 12 in December. My name is Daniel, I was born in Hamilton and still live here. It is set in the city of York, where Gareth went to University. Brasswitch and Bot is Gareth’s third novel and the first in the Rise of the Remarkables series.
