But one day, a mysterious man named Mr. Cleat shows up and whisks Tess away to live with him. Before Tess leaves, Miss Ackerbee gives her a strange lens, and makes an even stranger admission: that Tess can travel to parallel worlds, and has been able to do so since she was found as a baby. Now, with her newfound abilities and the mysterious lens in tow, Tess must navigate life with Mr. Cleat and his nefarious housekeeper, who seem to be up to more than they let on. As Tess learns about the lens and its role in transporting her to other worlds, she discovers that behind Mr. Cleat's oily smiles is a darker intention: one that could bring the world to its feet. Can Tess keep her secret from Mr. Cleat, and figure out what he's up to? And what if the lens falls into the wrong hands? With the help of Violet and her friends from the orphanage, Tess can finally discover the truth about Mr. Cleat and, more importantly, herself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A twisty, <b>fantastical adventure</b>." -<i>School Library Journal, </i>starred review <p/>"A good old-fashioned <b>engaging</b> and <b>inventive page-turner</b>." -<i>Kirkus Reviews <p/></i>"Does a <b>marvelous </b>job building a familiar but <b>slightly strange world</b>, filled with<b> intrigue and possibility</b>. <i><i>--Booklist</i><br></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Sinéad O'Hart is Irish, and lives in County Sligo, in the wild northwest of Ireland, known as Yeats Country because of its influence on the great poet.
