“Brilliantly conceived . . . entertaining and heartfelt.” —Kirkus Reviews
Daisy Fitzjohn knows there are two worlds: the outside world and the world of Brightwood Hall, her home—and the only place she’s ever been. Daisy and her mother have everything they need within its magnificent, crumbling walls. But, when Daisy’s mother leaves unexpectedly one morning, a strange visitor arrives on the estate, claiming to be a distant cousin, James Gritting. As the days tick by and Daisy’s mother doesn’t return, Gritting becomes more and more menacing. He wants Brightwood for himself, and he will do anything to get it—unless Daisy, with only her imaginary companions to help her, can stop him.
Tania Unsworth takes readers on a twisting, heart-pounding journey through dark corridors and wild, untamed gardens in this novel perfect for fans of Doll Bones and Coraline.

From the Back Cover:
Nobody knows you exist.
The moment the man said it, Daisy knew it was true. And she realized that she had always known.
All this time, she had thought of the outside world as a strange place, hard to imagine. But it wasn’t. It was the other way around.
It was Daisy herself who was strange and hard to imagine.
