When orphaned young Maria Merryweather arrives at Moonacre Manor, she
feels as if she's entered Paradise. Her new guardian, her uncle Sir
Benjamin, is kind and funny; the Manor itself feels like home right
away; and every person and animal she meets is like an old friend. But
there is something incredibly sad beneath all of this beauty and
comfort--a tragedy that happened years ago, shadowing Moonacre Manor and
the town around it--and Maria is determined to learn about it, change
it, and give her own life story a happy ending. But what can one
solitary girl do?
