Description
Robert is told by old Edith Sorrel that he can do anything. But Robert knows better - he's just a school geek. Yet, something compels him to visit Chance House, where a boy once fell to his death from the top floor flat. There, he must confront his fears and find some answers. Niker, the bully, challenges Robert to spend the night at Chance House with him. But as they face each other, the balance of power shifts, and it's Robert who proves stronger. Niker feels threatened by this change and discovers Robert's secret obsession - making a coat of feathers for Edith Sorrel, just like in an old legend. This story explores themes of friendship, bullying, and the importance of facing one's fears. Will Robert's actions be enough to save Edith's life?
