Publisher's Notes
First Line: "It was January 1916--the coldest winter in living memory. The dark rooms in Bloor's Academy were almost as cold as the streets outside. Henry Yewbeam, hurrying down one of the icy passages, began to hum to himself."
Industry Reviews
"Nimmo has a light hand with traditional fantasy elements, and her fresh approach juxtaposes humor and mystery with well-rounded characters with whom readers can empathize. Characterizations are lively and memorable, with a tidy balance among ages and genders. The suspense is compelling, moving readers easily from scene to scene, any necessary explanation built into the text without slowing the pace."
