About the Author

Marian Adair writes atmospheric mysteries for young readers: stories about old schools, locked rooms, and the secrets adults insist are best left alone. She lives in Colorado, where the winters are long enough to make any library feel haunted.

The Shadowhill Academy Mysteries began with a single image: a girl alone in the stacks after closing, and the feeling that the shelves were listening. Each book is a complete case, and each one opens the door to the next.
