A brand new story of friendship and ghostly mystery from one of the best-loved UK writers for girls.

Maisie’s dad has a new job as live-in caretaker of a Victorian secondary school.

The girls tell Maisie about the ghost of a Victorian pupil rumoured to wander the corridors. One particular student called Kat seems captivated by what Maisie has seen, and – both feeling like outsiders – they quickly become close. One night, though, Maisie comes across a tin box full of photos and notes. It’s plainly decades old, and, squinting at the photos – belonged to a smiling girl who looks exactly like Kat…
