Where Peacocks Scream is told by twelve-year-old Daniel Williams who lives in The Riverside, a pub by the river in Wolvercote, North Oxford. The pub's gardens include a bridge that leads to a wild patch called The Island, which Daniel considers to be his private territory and one of his passions. His others are for the peacocks which live in the grounds and his friend Josh, and Chloe, the Boatman's daughter. The story opens with the death of Cora, Daniel's special peahen, whom he buries secretly on The Island. That summer, while he is fishing, he notices that he is being watched and photographed by a man in a white cap. The man turns out to be Frank Jasper who arrives to stay at The Riverside and begins to make Daniel's life a misery. What is Frank Jasper plotting? Why did he bring those peacock feathers into the pub that night? Can Daniel save The Riverside from Frank Jasper's evil plans?
