This book is so good. You won't be able to put it down for anything! It has good characters (not good in the sense that they are perfect...but more as in interesting) and you'll wonder what goes on in Sugar Hill Hall until the very end. (

This gothic historical story has been one of my favorites since childhood. It is the tale of recently orphaned Emily Luccock, who finds herself a slave to the evil Mrs. Meecock in a house where a stolen peppermint is a high crime. Great fun, and still a good read after 20 years! (

Emily Luccock is looking forward to living at Sugar Hill Hall...She
remembers her aunt and uncle's grand old mansion well. But this time things
are different. Her aunt's once bright and lively home is now dead with
silence. Evil lurks in every corner and the dark, shadowed walls watch and
whisper late at night.

Emily is desperate to uncover the truth about what is happening at Sugar
Hill Hall. But time is running out, and she must find a way to save the
people and home she cares so much about.
