Arriving at her parent's posh hotel, Nell is determined to find Pear but no one has seen her at her last known address, and no one seems to want to tell her anything about Pear's whereabouts. Luckily she befriends the hotel bellboy who introduces her to the world of tunnels underneath the city, and together they set out to find Pear, whilst uncovering an extraordinary mystery of their own.
Gorgeous black and white illustrations by Kim Geyer bring this story to life.
