Victoria hates nonsense. There is no need for it when your life is perfect. The only smudge on her pristine life is her best friend Lawrence. He is a disaster—lazy and dreamy, shirt always untucked, obsessed with his silly piano. Victoria often wonders why she ever bothered being his friend. (Lawrence does, too.)
But then Lawrence goes missing. And he’s not the only one. Victoria soon discovers that Mrs. Cavendish’s children’s home is not what it appears to be. Kids go in but come out . . . different, or they don’t come out at all.
If anyone can sort this out, it’s Victoria, even if it means getting a little messy.
I adore quirky fun books, and this one sounds so perfect. The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls comes out August 28th 2012, so make sure you add it to your Goodreads wishlist ;)
This sounds like such a great story! Mysteries are always fun...Nice pick! :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds mysterious and a little bit creepy too and I like the cover!
