Tensy Farlow and the Home for Mislaid Children

Right from the beginning, Tensy Farlow’s life is somewhat unusual. Abandoned as a baby, rescued from near drowning in the River Charon and pursued by the evil mud-woman, Lythia. The bumbling but kindly Albie Gribble takes Tensy in until the ruthless Matron Pluckrose from the Home for Mislaid Children is tipped off and comes to claim her. Determined not to be downtrodden by her cruel treatment at the hands of Matron Pluckrose, Tensy earns the grudging admiration of all the orphans and forms a tight little trio with the plucky Howard Humberstone and forlorn little Polly. But evil seems to dog Tensy at every turn, and when Polly’s sister Queenie disappears, and two angels start spying on the orphanage, it becomes clear that everyone is after Tensy and they’ll stop at nothing to get her… is there anyone who can save her?
