A ghost, a rose, and a few lines of poetry launch thirteen-year-old Wilfie Ferrers on a quest to uncover a mysterious family secret. When he discovers more than he bargained for, he faces a dilemma. Quit while he is ahead or risk everything, including his life, to mend his mother's broken heart. His decision will alter the course of history and lead to the creation of the most famous nursery rhyme ever written.
