The boarding school was a magical place, a museum of dreams, with its perfectly manicured playing fields, the ‘chocolate bar’, courtyard and the mysterious oak wood. However, unknown to the children, the purpose built Victorian building was built on the sight of a much older Tudor Mansion, which in its foundation, held captive many secrets and shadows.

Eleanor and her friends, the twins William and Leo loved the endless summer days freely roaming the grounds. They explored a timeless world of heroes, dragons and much more, living within every moment. Despite this when Eleanor discovers that her parents are going away for the summer holidays and leaving her behind in the, school she begins to feel abandoned and resentful. It is on the last day of term that she decides to breach the schools weakest point in its defences, down in the ancient oak wood and runs away.

What happened to Eleanor? Where did she go? The twins desperately try to find her but instead witness the unravelling of lives not just in the present but also in the distant past.

This is a book full of ghosts, supernatural powers, mystery and adventure. It is also about two twin boys, their need to rescue their friend and how Eleanor’s disappearance drastically alters the course of their lives.
