Bea lives by the busy streets of Cotswold, England, in top-level apartment building 9D with her uncle and grandmother. Her uncle has told her stories of mythical beings, her grandmother despises the thought of magic -many family members she knew had different opinions as well. Her life seemed twisted enough, though her year of a ten-year-old girl will be thrown upside down as a familiar yet scruffed letter appears on her bedside. This letter she wouldn't expect could take her to a faraway place for her to discover, learn with new friends and unknown danger ahead for her missing mother's past.
