This fascinating story, full of mysterious events, begins in Find Town - a city that three hundred years ago, for an unknown reason, all its inhabitants left. Now it is inhabited by new citizens, but the secrets of the city have not disappeared anywhere. Where did its former residents go? Why did the settlers who came across an empty city institute the mysterious Ritual of Finding? What lives in the catacombs of the gloomy school building? Why do teachers turn pale when they hear the words “talent” or “creativity” and call a school council? All this is only a small part of a tightly wound tangle of mysteries that young Melissa and her friends have to unravel.
