The people of Baile an Chnoic are a bit strange. They don’t like any attention, and they prefer children who are always quiet and polite. They especially don’t like inquisitive children.

Terrible things began to happen in the town. Mici MacSuibhne’s house was burned down. Mysterious bees landed on the school. And the secret stone was stolen!

But Eimear is not from Baile an Chnoic, and she and her friend Seán will not stop until they find out the truth.
