Jim Brown is the main character. He is thirteen years old and just lost his mother. His younger sister is Sally who is very curious and his father Mr. Brown has suffered depression. They all try to start a new life by moving to Minerva Hall. Mr. Brown gets a new job as the head gardener at Minerva Hall which is a historical English mansion called the Minerva estate. They all move into the back part of the mansion or south turret. Lord Minerva is the grumpy owner of the mansion that hires them. He sits in a wheelchair and watches his security cameras. When he meets the Brown family he smiles with a devilish grin and Jim doesn’t trust him. Lord Minerva says “I don’t get out much but I am in control of the entire estate”. He has a vast security system with cameras and monitors all over the mansion. The old gardener Harold says, “This is not a place to be curious. If there is one thing that the master dislikes more than children it is questions”. Jim and his sister Sal are curious and start looking around the mansion. Jim constantly feels someone is watching them. They meet an autistic boy and Jim calls him Einstein.
