一座隱藏的花園,一個古老的傳說,一名失蹤的孩子。這是一部多線交錯、令人欲罷不能的懸疑小說。法蘭不想住在叔叔家,表妹伊莫珍粗魯難相處,在這裡她一點都不快樂。奇怪的是,討人厭的伊莫珍在她入住後卻失蹤了,甚至伊莫珍的父母還也遺忘了她的存在。全世界只剩法蘭還記得伊莫珍,她決定擔起責任,與表妹的摯友貝克絲聯手追查真相。唯一的線索,指向寂靜莊園裡那座隱秘的花園,以及那十二尊古老的石像。難道,一個關於魔咒與死亡的傳說,才是解開一切謎團的關鍵?Fran doesn’t want to stay with her aunt and uncle and her annoying cousin, Imogen. Imogen is rude and unfriendly and, it turns out, missing… But her parents don’t seem to know who Fran means – don’t be silly, we don’t have a daughter, you know that. So it’s up to Fran, and Imogen’s best friend, Bex, to find out what’s happened to her.Except Bex doesn’t know who Imogen is either. All Fran knows is that it’s got something to do with the hidden garden at Stillness Hall and the twelve statues that belong there. Could a mysterious old tale, a story of enchantment and death, hold the answers?
