Book Description
Mabel Stewart never seemed to fit in with the kids at her school whose world revolved around popularity and petty gossip. Let down by others who used her when they needed help with schoolwork and then dropped her when she was no longer necessary, she’d learned to keep her distance from people. With a love of reading, books filled with adventure were her escape. But her life that she considered to be kind of boring was about to change shortly after her 13th birthday. With her archaeologist parents both sent away on a dig, she and her younger brother Izzy were about to spend the next few weeks in an old mansion with their grandfather they barely knew. A chance discovery of a mysterious book in the attic has now thrust her into the middle of a century-old quest between two rival shadow societies desperate to unlock its secret. Mabel’s dreams of a more adventurous life have come true with her introduction to the world of the supernatural. Can she conquer her fears to accept her family’s destiny?
