When Davey and his sister are orphaned, their grandmother comes from a
remote island to look after them—bringing macabre powers and dark
secrets When Davey and his family moved to the city from the island of
Muckle Burra off the coast of Scotland, they left his grandmother
behind. But now his parents are dead—after a car accident that left
Davey confined to a wheelchair—and Gran has moved in to take care of
him and his sister, Lu-Lyn. A strange girl with a bizarre personality,
Lu-Lyn is obsessed with 2 things: ballet and returning to Muckle
Burra, where she was born. She believes that both she and Gran are
“Ridders” who have strange, dark powers: With just 1 cast of their
Evil Eye, bad things will start to happen. . . . When Lu-Lyn
puts a terrible curse on the neighborhood boys who’ve been
terrorizing her, it seems as if Gran’s dark arts have followed her
from Muckle Burra. Then tragedy rocks their family again, and Davey
embarks on a journey that will reveal the true secret of his
grandmother’s rare gift—and the limitless power of his own
potential. This ebook features illustrations by Ian Andrew and a
personal history of Joan Aiken including rare images from the
author’s estate.
