Product Description
When their workaholic history professor dad has to travel to Greece for a special convention, teen sisters Gemma and Tilly are sent to the British countryside to spend the Christmas holidays with their deceased mother's sister. In Ellonby, there is "not much to write home about" and the girls brace for a dull winter, but something is amiss in the age-old seaside village. Aunt Sara is strange and preoccupied, but the girls warm quickly to Uncle John and to the friendly villagers who tell them the story of the village's mysterious past and rumored curse, as well as its impending demolition by the Council. Then the stranger from the train ride shows up at the village guest house troubling the girls with his odd behavior. Are they being watched? As they begin to piece together the mystery behind the Ellonby family's shadowy past, the race to save the village heightens. Can Gemma and Tilly help their new friends make peace with the past and will they find the family they've been missing?
