On her way home for the holidays, Dora encounters a strange boy who seems to know all about her. Then her Dad gives her a mysterious box and disappears. Can she decipher the clues in the box to find him again, and can the strange boy help her? In the tradition of John Masefield, C S Lewis and Alan Garner, this is an adventure story for both children and adults, full of magic, myth and mystery.

When Dora goes to stay with Grandpa Jack for the holidays, she is dismayed to find that his house, which stands next to the Church, is about to be demolished. The new Vicar is a lady called Sylvia Pouncer, and she and her friend, the sinister Abner Brown, seem determined to dig up and pillage all the hidden treasures of the town. So begins a tale of myth, mystery and transformation. There are encounters with bats, mice, ghosts, angels and villains; a talking pig; and a journey to the magical shadow land beneath the hill.
