Madison's Peculiar Adventure - E-book - ePub

10-year-old Madison lives in an orphanage overseen by the mysterious directress, Madam Eve. Here, the children are divided into different groups based on their age, and once you grow up, you must leave. While Madam Eve treats the orphans kindly, there is a secret trapdoor in the basement for disciplinary measures, certain chores they must do every day, and limited food for each group. One day, as Madison passes by the kitchen to tend to the flower garden, she catches a glimpse of Wendy, who is otherwise as quiet as a mouse, talking to herself.
But as she closes in on the off-the-wall girl, a hideous hobgoblin scurries right between her legs and disappears into thin air. Before she knows it, Wendy drags her out of the kitchen and drones on about telling what they saw to Madam Eve. But the directress won't believe Wendy and Madison is too shocked to say anything and clams up like a clam. That very night, Wendy vanishes without a trace and only Madison is aware of the girl's sudden absence.
Burdened by guilt, Madison tiptoes out of her room in the wee hours to find Wendy or the hobgoblin they had spotted, only to end up under Madam Eve's draped bed. That's when she becomes certain - whatever had happened to Wendy, it was undoubtedly the work of Madam Eve. Will Madison ever uncover the truth behind Wendy's mysterious disappearance? Only time will tell in this captivating tale of friendship and magic!
