A Castle in the Clouds

Description

Way up in the Swiss mountains, there's an old grand hotel steeped in tradition and faded splendor. Once a year, when the famous New Year's Eve Ball takes place and guests from all over the world arrive, excitement returns to the vast hallways. Sophie, who works at the hotel as an intern, is busy making sure that everything goes according to plan. But unexpected problems keep arising, and some of the guests are not who they pretend to be. Very soon, Sophie finds herself right in the middle of a perilous adventure-and at risk of losing not only her job, but also her heart. The holiday romance of Love Actually meets the playful mystery of Clue in this captivating novel for teens.

Kerstin Gier is the author of the Silver trilogy and the New York Times-bestselling Ruby Red trilogy, which has been translated into twenty-five languages. kerstingier.com
