But on the day she receives one of six invitations to the country estate of wealthy Countess Camilla DeMoss, her life changes forever.

The girl named Tabitha Crum, who grew up with her cruel and unloving parents, who rather to send Tabitha away to the orphanage than treat her like their daughter. Tabitha also have loyal and trusting sidekick which is actually an mouse named Pemberley who always with her. Tabitha actually LOVES the mysteries book series, until when an woman sends the letter to her parents about an manor (I forgot already, sorry!) from an woman named Camilla DeMoss, an lonely woman determined to find her grandkids, twins, one boy and one girl. But the ending is so heartwarming, I don`t want to spoil this book for you but one boy that Tabitha met, Oliver Appleby, is her friend until Oliver and Tabitha both discorved (sorry if I spelt that word wrong) were TWINS! I would def recommend this book!

When Tabitha and her mean family as well as five other families are invited to the mansion of the private and mysterious countess. Rumors of double murder in the cottage makes Tabitha suspicious of the countess and her home.

Nooks and Crannies is about a girl named Tabitha Crum whose only friend is a mouse named Pemberly who she takes with her everywhere. Tabitha's parents don't love her and are going to go away on a "vacation" without her to leave her at an orphanage. But before they leave she gets a letter from a rich countess inviting her to her mansion. The countess is very secretive and nobody knows anything about her. Tabitha and five other kids are invited with their parents. When they arrive the children are told that they all have been adopted and one of them is her missing grandchild. At first Tabitha is excited maybe she could live here instead of the orphanage. Then the Countess starts acting strange Tabitha suspects there is something fishy about the Countess,but will she be able to find out what in time. I really liked this book is was a good mystery that kept me guessing.
