Publisher's Synopsis
Uncover a world of dark magic, forbidden adventures and family secrets when a spooky fairground returns to Victorian London.

Where are her birth parents? Why must she keep her mysterious birthmark hidden? And why are all the adults terrified of the fairground? Faced with an opportunity to enter the Scareground, Nancy and her best friend discover a place of dark magic, where rides come to life and there's a mystery around every corner. When she meets the fair's sinister owner, Skelter, Nancy faces secrets more horrifying than she could ever have imagined.
