This captivating installment in The Merriweather Girls series follows the four remarkable sisters, Meg, twins Patsy and Ellie, and youngest sibling Vera, as they stumble upon a centuries-old secret that could change their lives forever.

The story kicks off when the Merriweather Girls embark on a trip to England, a place renowned for its majestic castles and rich history. Their visit takes an unexpected turn when they stumble upon a hidden chamber in one of these grand estates. Inside, they discover an ancient fan that once belonged to Queen Victoria herself.
