Four orphans with extraordinary abilitiesPippa, Sam, Thomas, and Maxare happy to be out of harm's way now that the notorious villain Nicholas Rattigan is halfway across the country in Chicago.
But their troubles have only just begun. The four are shocked when their beloved friend, famous sculptor Siegfried Eckleberger, is murdered. As they investigate, they find clues that his death may be tied to the murder of a rich New York heiress, as well as to their own past.
In this second book in the exceptional Curiosity House series by bestselling author Lauren Oliver and shadowy recluse H. C. Chester, the children must avenge their friend's death, try to save their home, and unravel the secrets of their past . . . before their past unravels them.
This is the second book in the series and so boasts many wondrous and mysterious things inside, such as:
Howie, the owl boy, whose head turns just about all the way around
Some perfectly ghastly wax sculptures
A very thin boy named chubby
An awful mechanical leg it continues not to have:
A cautionary tale about running with scissors
Nutritious and decidedly not delicious vegetables
A perfectly sweet bedtime story about a wayward bunny
Two wet kisses on the cheek from your aunt Mildred
She is also the New York Times bestselling author of the YA novels Replica, Vanishing Girls, Panic, and the Delirium trilogy: Delirium, Pandemonium, and Requiem, which have been translated into more than thirty languages. The film rights to both Replica and Lauren's bestselling first novel, Before I Fall, were acquired by Awesomeness Films. Before I Fall was adapted into a major motion picture starring Zoey Deutch. It debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2017, garnering a wide release from Open Road Films that year.
Oliver is a 2012 E. B. White Read-Aloud Award nominee for her middle-grade novel Liesl & Po, as well as author of the middle-grade fantasy novel The Spindlers and The Curiosity House series, co-written with H.C. Chester. She has written one novel for adults, Rooms.
Oliver co-founded Glasstown Entertainment with poet and author Lexa Hillyer.
