Twelve-year-old Flora and her mother are spending the Christmas holidays in the little seaside town of Helmersbruk, in a cottage in the grounds of a grand old tumbledown mansion, straight out of a fairy tale. Flora explores the beautiful old house and its grounds and soon falls under its spell. She finds mysterious porcelain figurines, has strange, vivid dreams and hears eerie whispers in the night. As Christmas Eve approaches, Flora learns that the manor is in danger, and the only way she can save it is to solve the mystery buried in its past. Can Flora discover the secret of Helmersbruk Manor before she has to return home? 20241015. Detective and mystery stories Juvenile fiction. Christmas stories. Children's stories.
