12-year-old Margaret's life takes an unexpected turn when her sleepy, short-tempered mother packs her and her 7-year-old sister Sophie into a car and takes them to a small island one Sunday. Without explaining anything to the girls, she drives up to an old abandoned mansion and puts up a FOR SALE sign. But how did they get their hands on the house? Why has her mother stopped talking about it, ever since the girls' father drowned four years ago? Curious, Margaret decides to return to the mansion alone to find answers to these questions and perhaps even solve the mystery of her father's death... On the island, she meets Boyd, a boy who lives in a comic book world that is more real to him than reality. And who is the mysterious Rat?
This is a thrilling and thought-provoking story about fate and chance, obsession and emotional detachment, about people who feel rejected by others because they are "different"; and that reality can be stranger than the fictional world of books.
