And from the inside, to hear the voices of the inhabitants, the Mennym family, you would think they were a perfectly ordinary family, too. <br><br>But you''d be wrong, for the Mennyms are far from ordinary. The whole family shares an astonishing secret behind which it''s hidden for forty years; a secret to which nobody has ever come close - until perhaps, now.<br><br>When a letter arrives from Australia, the whole family is plunged into fear that, for the first time, their secret is about to be exposed . . .</p>
