When Maud is chosen by the seemingly sweet Miss Hyacinth and her sister, she, excited to leave the orphanage, finds her new home a place of corruption and cruelty when she is forced to help stage elaborate seances to swindle wealthy patrons out of their money.
Review:
"Schlitz's story transcends the limited conventions of melodrama to answer some of the questions we are always secretly asking ourselves: If we are good, will we be loved? And if we are true to ourselves, will we suffer?"
Elizabeth Spires, New York Times Book Review, 12/03/2006
Review:"Schlitz has an impeccable feel for the gothic orphan tale--the vulnerable little girl at the mercy of a nefarious guardian--and spins neither a tribute nor a parody, but a deft entry in the genre...Add a deep armchair, a cup of tea, and a rainy night to send readers off into orphan story heaven."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, 11/01/2006

A feisty orphan is taken in by a band of phony spiritualists in this intriguing, engaging novel. Maud Flynn is known at the orphanage for her impertinence, so when the charming Miss Hyacinth and her sister choose Maud to take home with them, the girl is as baffled as anyone. It seems the sisters need Maud to help stage elaborate seances for bereaved, wealthy patrons. As Maud is drawn deeper into the deception, playing her role as a "secret child," she is torn between her need to please and her growing conscience -- until a shocking betrayal makes clear just how heartless her so-called guardians are. Filled with tantalizing details of turn-of-the-century spiritualism and page-turning suspense, this lively historical novel features a winning heroine whom readers will not soon forget.
