One afternoon a box arrives at there back door. Coriander goes to pick it up and inside are a pair of silver shoes with 'Coriander' engraved in the shoe, but when Corianders mother sees them she takes them away and looks very worried.

The rest of the book is about Coriander and her father trying to find out why her mother died - but even though this is all they want to do they suddenly find themselves in a heap of trouble involving the raven , a lady called Maud and a weird second world where her mother was once from.

I would give this book a 9/10 because it is exciting, and it has a really good storyline.
