The seven oldest of the Douglas siblings are sent to help their three eccentric great aunts settle into their new home.
Their home ends up being a castle! The castle is filled with secret passageways and holds a mysterious past.
Led by their new friend, beloved St. John Henry Newman, the children will unravel a mystery and equip themselves with spiritual gifts to face a cunning and manipulative villain who has been leading vulnerable souls into his lair of illusion.
The Douglings Adventures series has become a favourite of mine and my brother's. We think it has a great storyline with a relatable and funny cast of characters! Although there is generally a lack of good, Catholic, contemporary fiction books, Lair of Illusion (and Mystic Informant) are perfect!
