The Order of Stheno. Book 1: The curse of the five manikins.

Jack Kidd: 12 yrs old, an only child, more or less happy with his lot despite his overprotective mother and the occasional run-in with the school bullies, has his world turned upside down when his long-lost grandfather comes to live with them; a grandfather with whom he has had no contact since he was a baby; a complete stranger, weird in appearance and even weirder in his manner.
Jack's relationship with this grumpy old man who has been charged with driving him to school every day, changes dramatically when he learns of a legend involving a curse spanning centuries: a legend that has haunted the old man since his childhood.
Warned by his mother not to pay any attention to his grandfather's wild storytelling, Jack nevertheless finds himself drawn into a nightmare world where witches, brownies, boggarts and werewolves, not to mention demonic possession and vampire cults, are the norm.
