Behind the Attic Wall is a children's mystery novel written by Sylvia Cassedy in 1983.Troubled twelve-year-old Maggie Turner has been thrown out of more boarding schools and foster homes than she can remember—and for good reason: she steals and destroys other people's property; she skips class to play in the garden or rummage through other people's rooms; she never pays attention to anyone, lost in her own strange thoughts; she's ugly and skinny, she sucks her hair, and she wears her own ragged ill-fitting clothes rather than the uniforms provided. Underneath it all, Maggie has been alone so long that she's come to believe she prefers it, and she refuses to risk being hurt by letting another person into her own interior world.Adelphi Hills is Maggie's last chance. There she lives with her only living relatives, two stern great-aunts and a dreamy, childlike uncle. There she wanders the empty halls and abandoned classrooms of what was once a girls' school, until a tragic accident 100 years ago killed the school's founders. And there she hears mysterious voices calling her name from a secret room behind the attic wall.What she discovers there seems like a pair of ordinary forgotten dolls—but these dolls can walk and talk. For the dolls, it is eternally 8:35 on a Wednesday, just before teatime. To them, Maggie is their new caretaker, come to tend their paper rose garden and pour their imaginary tea. But to Maggie, the dolls will soon become the most important things in her world...and they will teach her the most important lesson of her life.Tropes include: | |
