Poor Ebony. After an idyllic life on a farm near a village by the sea with her grandfather and her pet rat, life is thrown upside down by the sudden mysterious death of her grandfather. She is whisked off to Dublin by a Judge and sent to live with an aunt she never heard of. Not only that, she is part of a society of people who reincarnate through different lives. and her previous lives have not been terribly long-lived affairs. This one seems set to be cut short too. Can she solve the riddles and uncovers the secrets of the Nine Lives? Will she find out who murdered her granddad before it's too late? Who can she trust?

Packed with brilliantly barking ideas, mad settings, wild characters and strange inventions, this is a rip-roaring, action packed, twisty and turny read from the opening page to the final paragraph. Ebony's adventures are fast and furious and she and the reader are kept guessing right up to the end. Completely mad and lots of fun.
