This month’s selection is: The Tricksters by Margaret Mahy

"As the Hamiltons gather at their beach cottage "Carnival's Hide" for Christmas, the warm, chaotic family atmosphere is chilled by the unexpected arrival of three extraordinary brothers. 

Who are they? Where are they from? Only 17-year-old Harry, the middle daughter, is close to seeing the truth: are these brothers pulled from her own private writings, are they descendants of Teddy Carnival who drowned there many years earlier, or are they something more sinister?

As the brothers gradually reveal their purpose, long-hidden family secrets are also unfurled."
