Anastasia is a completely average almost-eleven-year-old. That is, UNTIL her parents die in a tragic vacuum-cleaner accident. UNTIL sheâs rescued by two long-lost great-aunties. And UNTIL sheâs taken to their delightful and, er, âauthenticâ Victorian home, St. Agonyâs Asylum for the Criminally Insane. But something strange is going on at the asylum. Anastasia soon begins to suspect that her aunties are not who they say they are. So when she meets Ollie and Quentin, two mysterious brothers, the three join together to plot their great escape! BONUS: Includes an excerpt of Viola Snodgrassâs Etiquette Manual for the Prim and Proper Sort!
