Winterborne Home for Vengeance and Valor

As a baby, April was left at a fire station with a key and a note: "This is my baby, April. Keep her safe. I'll be back soon." Years have passed and April has acquired many talents that help her sneak around and investigate, but she still hasn't solved the mystery of the key. Then one day, she attends an exhibit on the famous Winterbornes. The wealthy family tragically died except for a young son who was raised alone before mysteriously disappearing. After an accident that turns out to be a lucky break, April is living with other orphans in the Winterborne Mansion. Sure, living in a mansion has its perks and it's far better than the previous group home she was in, but the best part is that the design on her key turns out to be the Winterborne family crest. That means she's closer than ever to unraveling the mystery of her past and no figure lurking in the shadows is going to stop her.

This is a fun mystery and adventure with a full cast of unique characters from the always tinkering Sadie to the fiercely protective Tim. The setting of a mansion filled with secret passages on a creepy windswept cliff and the promise of a hidden treasure only add to the fun.
