The first book in The Trapdoor Mysteries, a series about Tally, a code-breaking, animal-loving servant girl and her best friend, a squirrel named Squill, who solve mysteries with the help of a secret library…
Ten-year-old Tally is a servant girl at Mollett Manor. She sleeps in the scullery sink, and spends her days scrubbing, polishing and ironing (when she’s not secretly reading books). Then Tally and her squirrel friend, Squill, find a secret library hidden under the manor – a magical library where the books come to life! When Mollett Manor is burgled, can Tally use the knowledge she finds in the books to catch the criminals? Can they even help her solve the mystery of her missing mother?

Very interesting book as it had parts that had magic like spiders coming out the book as the character read it.

I really enjoyed this book because Tally saved the house from burglars. I loved the bit at the end about the sofa. My favourite character is Lord Mollet. I would recommend this book to anyone aged 6-50.

Tally was abandoned as a baby and only has glimpses of what her mother looked like. And from what she knows and everyone has said her mother is dead. She is a maid at Mollett Manor. One day she finds a secret library with rickety shelves and dusty old books!

I liked it but it was a bit young for me. I would recommend it to someone who likes mysteries. My favourite character is the squirrel because he is funny.

This book is all about a young maid called tally and she lives in a magic manor with lots of clues in. When she goes outside she finds another clue and then works out the answer. She then has a very important job she has to keep as a secret.

I really loved this book/series. I loved the characters, setting and storyline. Tally is a really cool and good main character as she is clever and thoughtful. Squill is amazing, the illustrations bring it to life and I enjoyed solving the mystery
