A hidden garden. An ancient tale. A missing child. This is an addictive mystery with crossing narratives that's impossible to put down.

"Spooky and original, this multilayered 9+ story grips the reader and doesn't let go." - The Guardian, Best New Children's Books Roundup

"Gripping mystery"- The Observer

"Deliciously creepy modern adventure. Beautifully plotted and a real page-turner." - The Irish Independent

Fran doesn't want to stay with her aunt and uncle and her annoying cousin, Imogen. Imogen is rude, unfriendly and, it turns out, strangely missing ... and everyone is denying she even exists. So it's up to Fran, and Imogen's best friend, Bex, to find out what's happened.

All Fran knows is that it's got something to do with the hidden garden at Stillness Hall and its twelve mesmerising statues. Could a mysterious old tale, a story of enchantment and dread, hold the answers?
