This book pulled me in from the very beginning. The main character, Sophie, starts out as a person who is quite innocent indeed. However, throughout her time staying with her new guardian she goes through a change... a maturation. She sees apparitions and has to learn to cope with her new guardians ever-present mood swings. You really don't know for sure what is going to come from her time at Wyndriven Abbey, but you're in for some twists and turns, and some surprises. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I have.
