Children's book, for ages 6-12.
You'll like April, she's a little quiet sometimes, a little loud sometimes, but she is always friendly. She lives with her mum in Glasgow, well she did until recently, now April and her mum are moving. It's a small flat, like her last one, but probably the first thing you'd notice is that it is actually a small part of Ythan House, an enormous stately home in the Scottish countryside.
One night, April is awoken by a squeak in the corner of her room, followed by the sound of tiny little footsteps moving closer…
Sometimes being small let's you see things that others can't and as April soon discovers, though Ythan House is very big, it is hiding some tiny secrets. With a little help from a friendly mouse and a very special ring she might just find out how special Ythan House and it's mysterious residents are.

The sat nav declared, “In 300 metres take the next right then after 2.5 kilometres you will reach your destination."
“No way,” said Mum, “I think that those last 2.5 kilometres are the driveway!”
“Wild!” breathed April, filled with wonder.
They didn’t say another word to each other as they passed by the gatehouse and then along the drive. Woods, fields and the occasional building passing on each side. This was going to take some getting used to.
Finally, from between the trees, they could make out a series of buildings that looked similar to all the pictures they'd seen. A sign to the right pointed out a carpark.
“Not for the likes of us,” Mum proudly proclaimed. “We’ve got a special spot under the clock tower.”
Mum drove on round the buildings. She had studied the map closely before they had left, terrified that she’d drive to the wrong part of the site and get told off...
