Adéntrate en una Inglaterra del siglo XIX reimaginada en esta emocionante novela de aventuras de Joan Aiken. Cuando Bonnie queda al cuidado de su institutriz en la mansión de Willoughby Chase, su vida da un giro inesperado. La institutriz, la señorita Slighcarp, revela su verdadera naturaleza, buscando enriquecerse a expensas de los Willoughby. Despidos, ventas de valiosos muebles y caos se desatan. Pero lo peor está por venir: Bonnie y su prima Sylvia se encuentran en un siniestro orfanato, un lugar aún más aterrador que los lobos que acechan en la zona. Sin embargo, una luz de esperanza se vislumbra, ofreciéndoles la posibilidad de escapar y luchar por liberar Willoughby Chase de las garras de la malvada señorita Slighcarp y sus cómplices.
