Tizzie is lonely when she and her mum move to Roven Mere, a mysterious, rambling mansion deep in the countryside. She's eager to meet Lord Rupert and his daughter, Greta, but no one knows when they will come home. The house seems like a museum, and as Tizzie explores the rooms and passageways, she makes a startling discovery about why she's been brought to Roven Mere...

Unlocking the doors to a country mansion unlocks the secrets of the past in a compelling mystery by a COSTA CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD-winner.
