Gracie, George and their Mum, Annie, move to Blackpool after they buy a boarding house. With plenty to learn about sharing their home with guests, getting breakfasts cooked and exploring Blackpool, the family are set for a new life.
It is expected to lose items during ones time at a boarding house, however Gracie feels it is too much to lose her Mother. While serving breakfast their first morning, Annie drops some plates in shock. A hint at a face from the past is the only clue given. When Annie goes to find her glasses before their first excursion to the sea front, Gracie and George wait but time goes on and on. Going back to find her, they find her gone.
Gracie and George make some new friends on their hunt for Mum. The foursome quickly begin sleuthing around the town and boarding houses, trying to find clues and traces. Tom and Violet are both quick and clever and have some great ideas and skills to help. As the mystery unravels, Gracie and George find themselves in danger and they must act quickly to save Mum and save the town from a conman planning a theft during the historical switch on at the sea front.
With great characters, a super mystery and a gang of kids in a club willing to protect each other, there is plenty of action and adventure.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Blackpool and never having actually been there, the descriptions were wonderful and I could feel the atmosphere and excitement surrounding the switch on.

Brilliant and perfect for mystery fans!
