The Gargoyle Hunters by John H. Gill

Set against the backdrop of 1970s New York City, this coming-of-age tale follows thirteen-year-old Griffin Watts as he navigates the complexities of adolescence and family dynamics. His estranged father, a passionate architectural preservationist, enlists him in a clandestine mission to save the city's historic gargoyles from demolition. Through their daring escapades, Griffin gains a deeper understanding of his father's obsessions and the fragile beauty of the past, while grappling with his own identity and the turbulent world around him. The narrative weaves together themes of love, loss, and the enduring legacy of history in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
