This follow-up to Auxier's exceptional debut, "Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes, " is a Victorian ghost story that follows two abandoned Irish siblings who travel to work as servants at a creepy, crumbling English manor house. But the house and its family are not quite what they seem.

For nearly a century, Victorian London relied on "climbing boys, " orphans owned by chimney sweeps, to clean flues. Eleven-year-old Nan Sparrow is one of the best--and a girl.
