Everybody has secrets. But when fifteen-year-old Harriet Wood and Alistair Murray (both from single-parent families) start putting their family trees together from information on the internet, they discover that there is at least one big, dark secret which links their two families together and which may ruin their close friendship: a terrible crime which took place forty years before they were born. Slowly, other family secrets are revealed like the pieces of a mysterious jigsaw puzzle that the two young people desperately try to complete. And always, in the background, are the grim but fascinating buildings of the derelict mental hospital – the ‘loony bin’ – on the edge of the Yorkshire town where they live and which are at the centre of the picture when the mystery jigsaw puzzle is finally complete. Can there possibly be a happy ending to this story? Teen Readers er titler, der i tematik og indhold henvender sig direkte til unge. De findes på niveau 0, 1, 2, 3 og 4, hvor 0 er lettest.

Croydon Social Services have a problem: there are over 200 old people in Kingsfield and not enough people to help them. So the headmistress of Kingsfield Comprehensive starts a ?Helping Hands? programme: ?You will be old one day, too,? she tells her pupils, ?so think carefully before you say ?no?.? The volunteers from Class 5B enjoy their social work and find out a lot about the problems of the old people in their neighbourhood. One of the biggest problems is a series of burglaries. The burglars seem to have ?inside information?. Who is helping them? Is it Mrs Brown, one of the ?home helps?? When Dr Rao is brutally attacked and robbed, the ?Helping Hands? become detectives. When Peter finds a footprint of a SWIFT trainer under Dr Rao?s kitchen window, he begins to think that one of the burglars may even be a boy in his class at school?
