Nobody's Secret

<div>&ldquo;Based on the Bront&euml; family of writers, MacColl&rsquo;s story is filled with life and death, mystery, and witty humor&rdquo;&mdash;a Junior Library Guild Selection (School Library Journal, starred review). Emily and Charlotte Bront&euml; are about as opposite as two sisters can be. Charlotte is practical and cautious; Emily is headstrong and imaginative. But they do have one thing in common: a love of writing. This shared passion will lead them to be two of the first published female novelists and authors of several enduring works of classic literature. But they&rsquo;re not there yet. First, they have to figure out if there is a connection between a string of local burglaries, rumors that a neighbor&rsquo;s death may not have been accidental, and the appearance on the moors of a mysterious and handsome stranger. The girls have a lot of knots to untangle&mdash;before someone else gets killed.
