New York: Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 1996. Later Printing . Hardcover. Very Good/Near Fine. This book looks almost new. There is the small stamp of a former owner on the half title page, but no other marks or signs of use. The blue and black covers are fresh. The silver gilt spine lettering is still bright. There is a small black remainder mark on the bottom of the text block. The dust jacket is not price-clipped, and looks new. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover. Synopsis: An historical mystery for girls. Synopsis: Orphaned by the death of her father, young Amelia has to go from London to far-off New York in the company of an unknown relative, her chilling Cousin Charlotte. Amelia's pampered, protected life continues on a luxury ocean liner, but she then finds herself deserted and alone in New York, a shabby street waif. Who is behind it? And why does everyone turn out to be something terribly different from what they seem -- humorous Mr. Smeech, charming Mr. Turk, kindly Mrs. Dobbins, and even amusing little Primrose?
