i am done with this book quite a few months ago.
Maud Flynn is small in figure for her age of 11; with a sweet voice. she is an orphan; and a trouble to the orphanage where she stays.
three sisters whom hold fake seances; the eldest Victoria, the middle Hyacinth and the youngest Judith; are in the middle of preparing a seance for a Lady whom lost her child whom drowned at a beach.
the sisters have a maid who cant talk.
Hyacinth decided to adopt Maud and Maud promised that she would do everything being told and would not be a trouble to the sisters.
the sisters at first asked her to play a secret child to the family - no one should ever know of her existence as it would ruin the plan for the drowned child's seance.
it is actually kind of heartbreaking of how much Maud is willing to do in order to be 'loved' by the sisters; and she was finally asked by the sisters to play the drowned child; whom have long golden hair.
Maud would have to wear a wig for the seance and when the seance took place; an accident happen and the house was on fire.
all three sisters, the maid and the Lady was saved. Maud was left in the house but then managed to escape.
Maud was upset that Hyacinth never look for her after the fire and she went to look for the Lady and told her the truth.
the Lady was upset and confront Hyacinth.
Maud was sent back to the orphanage and later was adopted by the Lady; whom also took the maid to be her maid and learn sign language together.
they lived happily ever after.
ok ok.. i made up the last sentence..
