Peggy Donovan is horrified when she hears that the Council are planning to build over Adam's Common - the beautiful green spur of unspoilt land stretching right into the heart of the town. For Adam's Common is the only thing that she really likes about her new home and life in ugly, industrial Traverton.
But there is more than just beauty that draws Peggy to the Common - some mystery, some long-forgotten secret. Why is it called Adam's Common? Who once lived in the ruined house that she feels she must visit again and again? Who is the strange boy she sees, who seems to vanish into thin air? Peggy knows only one thing for sure. She has got to do something to try and stop the development from going ahead - even if it means looking for answers in the past...Peggy Donovan is horrified when she hears that the Council are planning to build over Adam's Common - the beautiful green spur of unspoilt land stretching right into the heart of the town.
