Summary

"Since Effie's beloved parents got divorced, she's become estranged from her father and embarked on a feud with his much younger girlfriend, Krista. And now, more earth-shattering news: Greenoaks, the rambling Victorian country house Effie called home her whole life, has been sold. When Krista decides to throw a party, Effie is originally left off the guest list--and then receives a last-minute "anti-invitation". Effie declines, but then remembers a beloved childhood treasure is still hidden in the house. Her only chance to retrieve it is to break into Greenoaks while everyone is busy celebrating. As Effie sneaks around the house, hiding under tables and peeping through trapdoors, she realizes the secrets Greenoaks holds aren't just in the dusty passageways and hidden attics she grew up exploring. Watching how her sister, brother, and dad behave when they think no one is looking, Effie overhears conversations, makes discoveries, and begins to see her family in a new light. Will she stay hidden or step out into the party and take her place with her family? Over the course of the party, Effie realizes that she must be honest with herself and confront her past before she'll ever be able to face her future"--Provided by publisher
