About the Book: The Watcher in the Shadows
A mysterious toymaker who lives as a recluse in an old mansion, surrounded by
the mechanical beings he has created...an enigma surrounding strange lights that
shine through the mists that envelop the small island on which the old
lighthouse stands...a shadowy creature that hides deep in the woods...these are
the elements of a mystery that bind 14-year-old Irene to Ismael during one
magical summer spent in the Blue Bay. Irenes mother has taken a job as a
housekeeper for the toymaker, Lazarus, but his house contains more secrets than
Irene and Ishmael have bargained for.
