If you’re a fan of gothic suspense, you’ll love the twists and turns in this British boarding school mystery. When 12-year-old Emmy’s mother forces her to attend Wellsworth, she discovers it’s the home to a secret society of teachers who are spying on and threatening her and her new friends. The mystery deepens when they find strange symbols on the castle walls that match medallions Emmy found in the attic belonging to her missing father. She realizes The Order of Black Hollow Lane has answers to her father’s disappearance and they don’t want her meddling in their centuries old secret world.  (Nancy Federiuk, Pacific Middle School  Evergreen Teen Book Award, 2022)
