Publisher Description
Nothing good ever happens past twelve. When thirteen-year-old Lydia Cavert returns to Laurelhurst Manor, the wild, lush boyhood home of her beloved Papa, she rediscovers that its secret rooms and locked doors are more sinister than any London street.
Orphaned by the blitz of 1940, her guardian uncle Alistair and his circle of friends hold Lydie captive at the estate. Lydie must unravel a dark web of deceit, jealousy, and revenge to expose who really murdered her mysterious aunt on that fateful night in 1932.
Will she restore her family's name or suffer her aunt's fate?Set amidst the backdrop of the Second World War, Beneath a Moonless Sky is a suspenseful coming of age tale of the power of memory, innocence lost, redemption restored, and the triumph of light over darkness.

Reading level for middle school
I was so excited to find this book on Apple because it is no longer in print, and none of the used books stores I frequent had it either.
I was so disappointed in the writing style that I actually looked to see if it was a book written for high school or younger. Due to the subject matter about murder and keeping a person hostage with drugs forced on them kept it from being appropriate for younger people, but the writing style is certainly elementary.
Bottom line for me: very disappointed!
