Captivating

Twelve-year-old Jane Reid is marooned in a small port-town in Northern Ireland while her parents vacation across the sea in Scotland. Her hosts are kind, but she's bored to distraction because she has nothing to read. Then books start appearing mysteriously in her little attic room. With a good characters, a nicely detailed setting, and a touch of the supernatural, this very touching story kept my children rapt. I think it's the besk of the books that Martin Waddell published as 'Catherine Sefton'. Very good for reading ages nine and up.
