Twelve-year-old Livy, still grieving the recent death of her best friend, enrolls at an elite, ancient London school where her librarian father has just been hired. She confronts her loss while searching for the link between the school's unusual old secrets and threatening new mysteries involving crumbling statues, alchemical riddles, and her new friend Ralph. Constable's magical-realism tale is subtle, somber, and atmospheric.
