Description An archly funny, classic mystery adventure with a magic twist Lucy Goodly is the new boot girl at Grave Hall, working for the cold, aloof Lord Grave.
The other staff - Vonk the Butler, Mrs Crawley the cook and Violet the scullery maid - all seem friendly but Lucy soon notices that strange things are afoot in her new home - and not just Mrs Crawley's experimental anchovy omelettes.
There are moving statues, magical books and Lord Grave has a secret.
Meanwhile, all over the country, children are vanishing.
Could the mystery of the missing children be linked to the strange goings-on? Lucy is determined to find out.
