About the book: 2020 / This is the story of a sleepy town called Pena, a place where the air is filled with stories of children disappearing without a trace. Poppy will spend the summer with her grandmother in Pena. Boring... However, very soon strange things begin to happen! The girl finds a notebook with a cover that looks like it’s made of the finest silk, her grandmother says that the sugar cubes must be locked up at night so that no trouble happens, and meanwhile children are disappearing in Pena. It started many years ago. And since then there have been fewer and fewer children in Pena. Teaming up with a new friend named Erasmus, Poppy sets out to find out what's going on in the town. How is the abandoned weaving factory located in the gloomy Mysterious Forest connected with the disappearance? Why do people around us shudder at the mere mention of the last owners of the factory - the strange Shchepps??
