The Secret of Moonacre

CriticsCritics: 28
AudienceAudience: 6.0

After losing her father, a thirteen-year-old girl must leave her comfortable London life and move with her caretaker to a remote manor ruled by an unknown, eccentric uncle. There, mysterious happenings draw her into an old family conflict involving a nearby estate, hidden secrets, and a magical legacy.

My take

You may enjoy this gentle, atmospheric fantasy if you like family fairy tales, magical mysteries, and determined young heroines; Not for you if you want fast pacing, complex storytelling, or a darker adventure like Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.
