About This Book
Behind the Attic Wall is a children's novel by Sylvia Cassedy, first published in 1983. At twelve, Maggie had been thrown out of more boarding schools than she cared to remember. "Impossible to handle," they said nasty, mean, disobedient, rebellious, thieving anything they could say to explain why she must be removed from the school.
