(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Sarah Watts. Victoria does what she's told, loves order, and is used to being the best. Breaking the rules isn't how she usually operates--that is, until children start disappearing, including her only friend, Lawrence; Victoria traces the source to a nearby orphanage run by the (seemingly) lovely Mrs. Cavendish. Imaginative and creepy, with a frightening villainess, this atmospherically illustrated fantasy will suck readers in.
