Sinossi
Kate vive con la mamma e i fratelli a casa della nonna da quando il papà è annegato. O almeno così le hanno sempre detto. Finché l'arrivo di una lettera misteriosa la spinge a interrogarsi per la prima volta sulla sua scomparsa: Frederick è davvero morto? Perché nessuno parla mai del suo passato, quasi fosse stato inghiottito dall'acqua come lui? La nonna sa molto più di quanto dice, e la mamma sembra nasconderle dei segreti. Kate non si scoraggia e, in sella alla sua bicicletta, inizia un'attenta indagine per raccogliere gli indizi e far affiorare alla superficie tutta la verità. Età di lettura: da 11 anni.

My favourite book when I was growing up, such thoughtful writing without patronising young people reading it. Descriptive enough to paint beautiful sometimes moody scenes, but not overbearing that young people or even adults bore of the writing. It's actually very exciting as you get into it, and
Great writing and real plot but a book full of unreliable and often not very pleasant adults. An outrageous deception has been practised upon Kate and her brothers, but there seems to be no acknowledgement of this and no real retribution or even guilt amongst the adults involved.
