The Secret Starling is a children's novel by Judith Eagle that tells the story of Clara, a young girl who has been raised in isolation by her strict uncle in a crumbling old manor. When her uncle suddenly disappears, Clara finds herself alone and must fend for herself. She soon befriends a local boy named Peter, who helps her uncover the secrets of her family's past. Together, they embark on an adventure that involves discovering hidden treasures, unraveling family mysteries, and thwarting the plans of a sinister figure who has a claim on Clara's home. The story is a blend of mystery, adventure, and historical fiction, set in the 1970s, and it celebrates the resilience and resourcefulness of children as they overcome challenges and forge their own destinies.
