Fifteen-year-old Meline and 16-year-old Jocelyn are cousins who go to live with their eccentric uncle after their parents are killed. Their uncle lives on an uninhabited island near Vancouver, B.C. The story is told from alternating points of view of Meline, Jocelyn, Uncle Marten, the housekeeper, and the butler. Strange and quirky as Horvath’s books always are.
