Summary

Mona and her aunt live in a little cottage on the edge of the Somerset estate, where her aunt sews wonderful dresses for the lady of the house. Mona never knew her mother or father, but Aunty has always looked after her – and Mona knows she can always talk to her mum where she lies in the village graveyard. When Lady Somerset dies and a new member of the Somerset family inherits the house, things begin to change for Mona. She has never really fitted in anywhere, but the new Bohemian atmosphere at the house offers opportunities for her to shine – and to find new friends. Dancing at fancy Sea Creature balls and trips to London are wonderful new experiences – but new experiences sometimes bring revelations and Mona discovers there are secrets in her past she can't dance away from.

Wow

At first it sounded strange and then it sounded like someone speaking to me instead of someone telling me the story

Amazing

I loved the story because it made you feel involved and not simply telling it. I especially liked the twist at the end. I love it when stories cross with each other.😀😊

A slow but interesting story!

It went slowly and was tedious at times however remained interesting. The ending was surprising and the twist confirmed what most older readers would have worked out. Overall a nice story however I would have liked a bit more information about how things turned out after the big plot twist of an ending perhaps there will be a second part to the story that explains more?

Very good!!!

I thought the story was amazing, I loved listening but some of the voices were quite similar and there were so many different people, at points I sort of forgot who the people were. I would recommend it to girls ages 9-16. enjoy!!
