Wölfe ums Schloss

When her parents leave on a long sea voyage, Bonnie stays behind at Willoughby Chase with her cousin Sylvia. It is the harshest winter in years, blizzards rage, wolves howl at night, but the girls feel safe in the castle. Miss Slighcarp, a distant relative, is supposed to look after them, but she has nothing else in mind but to seize the castle and all its riches. She dismisses the servants, sells the furniture, even wears Bonnie's mother's clothes. And it gets worse: one day she tells Bonnie that her parents have died in a shipwreck and sends both girls to an orphanage. The conditions there are terrible. There is not even enough food. Bonnie and Sylvia manage to escape. Together with the goose herder Simon, they make their way to London to visit Sylvia's Aunt Jane. Will they ever be able to return to Willoughby Chase?.
