![]() ![]() I love stories about run-aways, orphans, attics, old photographs, old houses and particularly stories about children making a home so this ticked a lot of boxes for me. There are some enjoyable characters, I appreciated the way the children all had their own personalities and the intergenerational friendship was lovely. I expect from the title we can all guess what happens next.Īlthough this does have some predictable elements and happy conclusions that may leave the more sceptical reader or listener rolling their eyes, there were some nice twists and turns, great characters and intriguing mysteries. The house next door is deserted and full of secrets, once inhabited by their aunt and mother, they long to find a way in. They are sent to live with an aunt in England who runs a guest house. The Mallory children live in Africa and are suffering from the death of their mother when their father goes missing. At first we thought this was going to be too predictable. ![]()
