" -Judy Blundell, National Book Award-winning author of What I Saw and How I LiedIn this witty and whimsical story by award-winning author Margo Rabb, a sixteen-year-old girl is suspended from boarding school and sent to New York City, where she must take care of an unconventional woman entangled in a mystery. Lucy Clark has had it. After being bullied one too many times, Lucy retaliates. But when the fallout is far worse than she meant it to be, she gets sent to Manhattan to serve as a full-time companion to the eccentric Edith Fox. Edith is glamorous and mysterious-nothing like Lucy expected. Though Edith' s world of hidden gardens and afternoon teas is beguiling, there' s one other thing about her that makes her unlike anyone Lucy has ever met. . . she thinks someone is trying to kill her. And it' s up to Lucy to find out who it is.
