The Riddles of Epsilon

By Christine Morton-Shaw

Something dark has awoken on the remote island of Lume

Jess is not pleased when her parents drag her off to live on the weird little island of Lume. But then she encounters an eerie presence in an abandoned cottage, and her anger turns to fear when it begins to lead her through a series of creepy riddles. As she slowly unravels the mysteries of Lume, she finds the writings of Sebastian, a boy who lived one hundred years ago and whose life contains unsettling reflections of her own. To her horror, the dangers he unearthed in 1894 now begin to threaten Jess and her family . . . and if Jess does not unlock the riddles in time, she may lose her mother forever.

Even though I've read a bit of it at school years ago, I've re-read it again and realised that this is not how I remembered it and is not my favourite book anymore. Idkw I even considered it my favourite when I haven't even read it properly. Honestly wanted Epsilon and Jess to get together ngl. Also, how did Mrs Shilling even know about Epsilon? Did they meet? Did she meet him when she was Jess' age? How does she know the lumic alphabet? Does Libby also know about Epsilon?
