A most remarkable house, a most remarkable family--with secrets. The
fabulous Redmaynes seem able to live every day in three cities at once:
London, Paris and New York. Somehow. The three lucky Redmayne
children--George, Felice, and Emile--believe they know all about their
extraordinary house and its many secrets. But, alas, no, they do not.
And when they begin to investigate, disaster strikes: George and Felice
accidentally misplace their younger brother in time, with the result
that the entire family must unite to find the poor lad and bring him
home. A whirlwind plot ensues that involves Shakespeare, a ship's
monkey, a packet of M&Ms, a red pen, and one or two, erm, unfortunate
changes to history. Can it all ever be put right? As it turns out, on
this occasion, maybe not... All actions have consequences, Mr Redmayne
remarks towards the close of this tale, and it may be that the Redmaynes
must live with theirs. Forever. Simultaneously a rip-roaring adventure
through time and space and the story of a family--and more specifically,
about what makes for a happy family--this prize-winning novel will
entertain and delight young adult readers of all ages.
