Description
Thrupp's Museum of Life stands, cold and remote, unloved, high above a seaside town, perched hilltop, almost ignored, until the day the blue whale cried: This huge, fake creature wept. The phenomena was witnessed by Amy Byrd, a fourteen year old girl who had a few tough issues, in a tough life, including being forever stuffed into a wheelchair. Amy finds herself dragged into the museum's unfolding mysteries, into an age of lost dark arts, and of old promises, to be kept at all costs, becoming central to finding a solution, to save the museum, and the remaining stuffed creatures on display, when the meerkat speaks to her - just to her. The meerkat mistakes Amy for a child from its own past, but still seeks her help for the museum, to find a new future, one promised almost two hundred years earlier..
