Mystery of the Night Watchers, Usborne

MAI, 1910

Pe masura ce cometa lui Halley, stralucitoare si amenintatoare, se apropie de Pamant, Nancy este smulsa din viata ei si fortata sa inceapa una noua in Suffolk, alaturi de un bunic pe care nu l-a cunoscut niciodata. Cu toate perdelele trase, Nancy are interzis sa paraseasca casa bunicului: nimeni nu trebuie sa stie ca ea sau mama ei se afla acolo.

Insa, cand Nancy descopera observatorul secret al casei, isi vede mama si bunicul iesind pe furis in fiecare noapte... Unde se duc? Si de ce nu trebuie vazuti de nimeni? Pe masura ce misterele se aduna, Nancy trebuie sa scoata la lumina secrete intunecate din trecut – chiar daca asta ii va pune propria viata in pericol.

MAY, 1910

As the blazing Halley's comet draws close to the earth, Nancy is uprooted to start a new life in Suffolk with a grandfather she has never met. With every curtain drawn shut, Nancy is forbidden from leaving her grandfather's house: no one must know that her or her mother are there.

Yet, when Nancy discovers the house's secret observatory, she watches her mother and grandfather creep out every night... Where are they going? And why mustn't any of them be seen? As the mysteries pile up, Nancy must bring dark secrets from the past to light - even if doing so will put her own life at risk.
