Description:

Everything converges in the sixth and final instalment of Nancy Springer's beloved series. While Enola tracks down the mysterious disappearance of Lady Blanchefleur del Campo through the dark, reeking tunnels of Victorian London, she makes a startling discovery — Sherlock is hunting for her just as urgently, and this time he has a reason. He carries a cryptic message from their long-lost mother, a message only Enola can decode. For the first time, Enola, Sherlock, and even Mycroft must abandon their usual games of cat-and-mouse and work openly together, pursuing a triple mystery: what has become of Lady Blanchefleur, what has become of their mother, and what does any of it have to do with Mycroft — the brother who holds Enola's future in his very proper hands? Wry, thrilling, and deeply satisfying, this brilliant conclusion leaves no one — not even the great Sherlock Holmes — unchanged. Praised by Booklist as flat-out among the best mysteries for young people today.
