It’s six months later, and the children who featured in the author's debut, Paradise Barn , find themselves in the midst of another intriguing set of events. After a train is blown up, the people in the village of Great Deeping become aware that there’s a spy in their midst, which threatens to spoil Molly’s plans for a carefree Easter holidays.
However, the children soon become distracted by looking for buried treasure. And as their search continues they find more than they bargained for.
