Synopsis

The story is set in Cornwall in 1958 and follows the young Ulysses Moore and his father at their family home on the cliff top. The house is under threat of destruction, and during that summer the boy uncovers secrets hidden in it. He has to find a way to save the house. The book goes back in time to show the early years of the character at the centre of the series.

Notes

  • Set in 1958, before the events of the earlier volumes.
  • From the series record (Ulysses Moore): Nineteen Italian middle-grade fantasy novels set around the Doors of Time in Kilmore Cove, in three cycles plus a prequel.
