Silver Buckshot Magic, Mystery, and a Most Aggravating Boyfriend

Thirteen-year-old Princess Flavia has endured a lot recently. Polio crippled her legs and killed her mother, her father is sunk in grief, and her servants veer between negligence and cruelty. She takes refuge in her books and never complains. But she draws the line at being murdered. Fourteen-year-old Frank Barron, a contender for the most aggravating boy in the universe, conceals her when the shooting starts. This is no accident: a letter told him what to do. It¿s signed, ¿Love, Flavia.¿ She has no memory of it, and, anyway, she can't tell the future! Or fall in love. Can she?
