A sparkling, realistic story - with a touch of magic - about bravery and belonging, and trickery and trust, from the Costa Award-winning author of Harvey Angell.
Pa has left his family once again to do important scientific research in the Highlands of Scotland - with strict instructions to Oliver, his oldest child, to protect the secret formula on which he is working. That means: no visitors to Dizzy Perch. But what are the Coggins to do when an angel arrives on the beach below?
Only, she isn't an angel. She's claims to be the author, A C Hennessy, whom Ma has invited to stay. How can Oliver keep Pa's promise to look after everyone when the others make their own rules?
But the only fiction she creates is her identity, for she is Moll, the sister of Jim, Pa's Sworn Enemy whose mission it is to bring the great scientist down.
Apart from practical Oliver, the whole family seems enchanted by their guest - and Ace (as she is known) is fast becoming one of the family. Is Oliver alone in his suspicions? You can't deceive cats and ghosts ...
Can he rid the family of this intruder - and at what cost?
