    <body><![CDATA[Few contemporary YA novelists are true prose stylists. Margaret Mahy is; her language has a very precise way of conveying subtleties of emotion. There's a maturity in her writing that I just don't often find in other YA fiction. <br/><br/>As for the story, it's one of character, rather than plot.

Who are they? Where are they from? Only 17- year-old Harry, the middle daughter, is close to seeing the truth. Are these brothers her own invention, or are they truly descendants of Teddy Carnival who drowned there many years earlier?  As the brothers gradually reveal their purpose, long-hidden family secrets are also unfurled. No one emerges unscathed!]]>
