One of our Books of the Year 2014 - May 2014 Debut of the Month An engrossing school adventure story packed full of mystery and rich in atmosphere. Orphaned Edie is rescued from a miserable stay with cousins because she can be useful in discovering exactly what is happening at the exclusive Knight’s Haddon School for Girls where Anastasia, the daughter of a Russian prince, is studying.
The school is in a castle cut off from the outside world. When mysterious things happen – and especially when Anastasia’s precious possessions go missing – no one knows quite whom to blame. Can Edie get to the bottom of what is going on?
A Piece of Passion from Barry Cunningham, Publisher, Chicken House I went to a boys’ boarding school – we had straw hats and silly rules, but I loved living with a bunch of friends all day, every day. It was like being on a desert island with prefects! Of course, we imagined all the visitors were criminals and there was a dire secret in the clock tower.
But actually, maybe Esme Kerr’s right; it was the teachers who had the real secrets all the time . . .
When Edie is sent by her guardian, a secretive art dealer, to Knight’s Haddon School, it’s not because he cares. He needs Edie to befriend Anastasia, the unhappy daughter of one of his richest Russian clients, Prince Stolonov.
