About This Book

A family of children who feel faded by a pale, restrained household are enlivened by colourful birthday gifts that lead them to a secret, enchanting garden and a second mysterious book. Their curiosity sparks a sequence of adventures—midnight explorations, amateur detection, encounters with occult societies and strange creatures, and a supernatural wax figure—which force moral choices and bring about confrontations, atonement, and reconciliation among the characters.
