Historical fiction for middle-grade readers at its compelling, shocking, fascinating best.

Inheritance follows the story of Nic, left in the care of her grandfather at a remote family property that was once her mother’s childhood home. This place, with its 30 rooms, three dogs, and lack of mobile reception, holds mysteries waiting to be uncovered.

Left to her own devices, Nic searches for clues about her mother, who died the day Nic was born. What she discovers, however, is far more than she could have imagined—a dark and shocking secret that haunts the land and the people who live there.
