520    Two children trapped in the same attic, almost a century 
       apart, bound by a shared secret. Early 1900s London: Taken
       from his homeland, twelve-year-old Celestine spends most 
       of the time locked away in the attic of a large house by 
       the sea. The only time Celestine isn't bound by confines 
       of the small space is when he is acting as an unpaid 
       servant to English explorer Sir Richard Babbington, As the
       years pass, he desperately clings on to memories of his 
       family in Africa, even as he struggles to remember his 
       mother's face, and sometimes his real name ... 1974: Lowra,
       a young orphan girl born into wealth and privilege whose 
       fortunes have now changed, finds herself trapped in the 
       same attic. Searching for a ray of light in the darkness 
       of the attic, Lowra finds under the floorboards an old-
       fashioned pen, a porcelain doll, a beaded necklace, and a 
       message carved on the wall, written in an unidentifiable 
       language. Providing comfort for her when all hope is lost,
       these clues will lead her to uncover the secrets of the 
       attic.
