About Nanny Tobbins and the Midnight Plan
1851, LONDON
Six months have passed since the grand opening of the Great Exhibition -- and Albertine and her family couldn't be happier.
But the season of good fortune ends abruptly when a Royal Jewel goes missing and Albertine's friend, dearest Blot, is accused of its theft. Determined to prove Blot's innocence, Papa launches an investigation. Yet despite his best efforts, the true thief cannot be found.
With time running short before Blot is imprisoned, Albertine hatches a plan. She will enlist the help of the grown-up with the sharpest eyes she knows: her ghost-governess, Nanny Tobbins.
Residing in the graveyard has, however, turned Nanny quite odd and managing her is rather difficult.
