The Ridley Inn: A Seaside Story

A girl arrives at a seaside inn. By morning, something is gone.

Not misplaced. Not hidden. Gone.

In a place where a seagull leaves gifts, a magician trembles between tricks, and certain rooms refuse to stay where they belong, she begins to understand that not everything missing wants to be found.

Some things must be noticed first.

A gentle, searching story about absence, attention, and the strange ways children come to know the truth.
