In Victorian London, twins Maisie and Felix are separated from young Alexander Graham Bell. As Maisie sells oranges and Felix sweeps chimneys, they navigate the foggy streets, desperate to reunite. Meanwhile, back home, their lives are upended by Great Uncle Thorne's wedding, forcing them from Elm Medona to the servants' quarters. Will they find each other and Alexander amidst the chaos of the city and their changing home life?
In Book 7 of The Treasure Chest, Maisie and Felix meet a young Alexander Graham Bell (the inventor of the telephone) in Edinborough, Scotland, just as he leaves for a year with his grandfather, an elocutionist, in London. When the twins get separated from Alexander, they join the thousands of orphans in the streets of Victorian London. Maisie becomes an orange seller and Felix a chimney sweep as they search the foggy streets for Alexander…and each other. Back at home, they cope with the upcoming wedding of Great Uncle Thorne, who makes them leave Elm Medona and return to the upstairs servants quarters. Includes great non-fiction content with biographies of Alexander Graham Bell and Charles Dickens and Ann Hood’s Favorite Facts from her research!
