This first in a series book introduces us to a trio from a school for wayward children. These three include a pair of fourteen year old twins, Sadie and Saskia Dopple and Erik Morrissey Ganger. The girls become separated when Sadie is adopted and Saskia is left behind. Trouble has a way of finding Saskia, but Erik helps her escape the orphanage and together they go off to find Sadie. Meanwhile Sadie discovers secrets that endanger her life. How do they escape the perils and finally find each other? Buy the book and have a good read. A bonus is the delightful illustrations and the ingenious way the text and illustrations are combined. The way this first chapter came out makes it a bit difficult to read.
