(2) 4-6 Lucia Hardscrabble and her two brothers travel to a castle at Snoring-by-the-Sea where they encounter an ominous taxidermist, secret passages, and an eight-toed cat. The story's elaborate plot is scaffolded with mysteries and secrets; most importantly: what really happened to the children's mother? Metafictional flourishes keep us on our toes as Potter tackles some serious topics from a position both gothic-cheeky and compassionate.
