The Ogress and the Orphans

This is a story about an ogress. This is also a story about fifteen orphans. . .

The orphan's live in the town of Stone-in-the-Glen, which was lovely, once upon a time. Blossoming trees, kind neighbours, a library filled with books. Then the library burned down, and the town fell into ruin - and it is all seen as the fault of the ogres who lives in the crooked house on the edge of town. When one of the orphans Cass, goes missing, again the ogress is blamed - but the children know that there is more to the story than meets the eye. Who is the real villain in their midst?

Whispers in the walls tell the orphans that they will save the day, but just how they will have to find out. . .

A lyrical and enchanting story from the New York Times bestselling author Kelly Barnhill, destined to become a modern classic.
