It is Charlotte''s first night at boarding school, and as she''s settling down to sleep, she sees the corner of the new building from her window. But when she wakes up, instead of the building there is a huge, dark cedar tree, and the girl in the next bed is not the girl who slept there last night.

Penelope''s mother died when she was a very young child and she was subsequently adopted by her mum''s best friend, Aunt Jo.

Why does she suffer such painful headaches, why does she remember things that can''t possibly have happened to her, and why can she speak phrases of Latin when she has never been taught the subject?!. Sometimes she really believes she is going mad. And then when even her best friend, Piloo, starts talking about reincarnation it''s almost more than she can bear.
