Alice-Miranda on holidays

Alice-Miranda has survived her first term at Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale. Who would have thought that the terrifying Miss Grimm would become so happy and kind? And why is Jacinta Headlington-Bear, the school's second best tantrum thrower, joining Alice-Miranda's family for term break? It seems that something strange is going on with Jacinta's family, something Jacinta knows nothing about. The two girls are looking forward to a relaxing holiday. But a stranger has been snooping about, asking retired staff all kinds of questions about Alice-Miranda's home, Highton Hall. There's been talk of secrets, and hidden passageways. Jacinta and Alice-Miranda might have a more exciting holiday than they were expecting!
