You can't choose your family. But sometimes, you have to outrun them. As fast as you can. Henrie Melchoir has three problems. (Okay, there are heaps more, but three is plenty to start with.) 1. Only boys are allowed in the House of Melchior. 2. She is not a boy. 3. She is a "Hapless Hero." Add missing parents, an intriguing note, a mysterious boy and a house of heroes, and Henrie Melchior's life is about to turn upside down. -- Back cover.
