About this book

Mysterious things begin to happen after Uncle Claude comes to stay with his sister's family. "In a more serious tale than the Anastasia novels, Lowry lightens tension with her same high-grade humor and brings thoughtful perceptions to a story that is also full of drama and adventure." -- Booklist
