AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In her hand was a hinged wooden box with a black clasp. On the lid was a painting of a white bird with a long neck, its wings stretched out in flight. Fred rubbed it with her fingers, wiping away the dust.

'The Game of the Goose,' she read slowly. 'Open it,' said Rowley . . .


Fred, Rowley and Rabbit hardly knew each other before the game. But the game changed everything. It took each of them on an adventure - a terrifying, wonderful journey that they would remember for ever. (Publisher's blurb)
