When Caroline Conrad, 13, learns that her dreadful mother is moving the family yet again, this time from New York City to a lazy village in England, she is none too pleased. But what awaits will change her life forever.

What secrets does the old Gavel Mansion hold? What part is Caroline (and her new friend Bradley) destined to play in the strange events that are chronicled within these pages? Could talking animals really exist? And most important, what is the true meaning of Old Wallace's riddle? Do Caroline and Bradley have what it takes to overcome their fears and discover the answers?
