Plot summaryHallam Foe follows the life of 17-year-old boy who has a very unusual and seemingly destructive hobby. He lives most of his life up in a tree house with state-of-the-art binoculars, a telescope, and plenty of logbooks in hand, watching as the people around him live their life. Hallam keeps himself separated and lives in solitude up in the trees, away from his father, Julius Foe, stepmother, Verity, his sister, Lucy and his best friend Alex Thirtle. He had fallen into these depths when his mother, Anne Sarah Foe, committed suicide and the relentless relatives turned their attention and pity towards the boy. {{Expand section|date=August 2010}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hallam Foe (Novel)}}{{2000s-novel-stub}} 3 : 2001 British novels|British novels adapted into films|Debut novels |
