Charlie Winston and the Thread That Wasn’t There: The Winston Inheritance — Book One
The Winston Inheritance - Book One
Nobody has looked straight at Charlie Winston in her whole life.
They see the Winston name. The enormous house. The black SUVs and the men with earpieces who walk her from the car to the door of a school she isn't allowed to walk to.
Then Charlie discovers something in her own house that nobody else seems able to find: a staircase that shouldn't exist.
At the top is a woman who has been dead since 1987-and who shares Charlie's name. She gives Charlie an old ring with a thread tied to it.
The thread is invisible. Charlie can only feel it.
And it leads down.
Her new friend Curtis Peterson doesn't believe any of it. Not the impossible staircase. Not the dead woman. Definitely not the invisible thread. But when Curtis ventures into the abandoned tunnels beneath the city to prove Charlie wrong, he discovers that some of her family's secrets have been waiting underground for a very long time.
Now Curtis is missing.
The tunnels are flooding.
And somewhere in the darkness, a family called Rourke is waiting for a Winston to come down.
For once, being the Winston heiress might be exactly what Charlie needs.
But Charlie is beginning to understand that the name she inherited doesn't have to decide who she becomes.
The thread knows the way.
Charlie has to decide whether she's brave enough to follow it.
Charlie Winston and the Thread That Wasn't There is the first book in The Winston Inheritance, a middle-grade mystery-adventure series for readers ages 9-13 filled with hidden passages, underground tunnels, family secrets, friendship, danger, and a touch of the impossible.
