NEVERMORE
Book ID/图书代码： 10000007B15278
English Summary/英文概要： Tizzie’s unpredictable lifestyle with her feckless mother has brought her to Roven Mere, a mysterious, rambling, isolated, lonely house. She and her mother are expecting to be greeted by Lord Rupert and his daughter, Greta (whom Tizzie thinks will be a longed-for friend). But when they arrive only the staff are in residence. Tizzie presses the reclusive Finnigan for clues as to Greta’s whereabouts, but he only answers in riddles. Gradually, however, Tizzie unscrambles the clues and learns all about the history of the house and its inhabitants - and with it, the chilling truth as to why she has been brought to Roven Mere. This is a totally up-to-the-minute story, in the spirit of the highly-acclaimed CATCALL and as atmospheric as Linda’s acclaimed teen fiction. And like many of Linda Newbery’s novels, it reaches into the past to complete the patchwork of her richly-drawn characters’ lives.

’It won’t be different. It’ll be the same as always. I’ll just start to get used to it, then you’ll want to move again.’ Tizzie’s changeable life with her difficult mother has brought her to Roven Mere, a mysterious, rambling house, deep in the countryside. She’s curious to meet Lord Rupert, the owner, and his daughter Greta, who Tizzie hopes will be the friend she longs for. But the house seems like a museum, and no one knows when Lord Rupert and Greta will come home. At least the hermit-like Finnigan is willing to answer Tizzie’s questions - but only by telling stories. As she explores the house and unravels its secrets, Tizzie makes a startling discovery about why she’s been brought to Roven Mere . . .
