The Hobble Christine Hands

Lilly's parents are always telling her to behave like a lady, but all she really wants to do is climb trees and go on adventures with her friends. Her comfortable and happy life with her parents changes when she is told they have to move away to the country and, worst of all, she will have to be home-schooled! Friendless and lonely, Lilly fills her days wandering around the house and garden. One day, she notices a fence that she can't quite see over . . . From this moment on, Lilly engages herself in a quest to discover what lies beyond it - especially when her mother and father start acting suspiciously. Lilly's obsession grows when she finds a secret passage leading under the fence and enters a place different to anywhere she has ever known - a place full of fear and danger. New friendships are formed, but are they strong enough to overcome secrets and heartbreak? Join Lilly in this gripping tale of friendship and betrayal, where she learns that every action has a consequence and maybe, this time, her inquisitive nature has taken her one step too far . . .
