When Lee's parents die, the authorities send him to the Lambs' Home: an orphanage in the middle of nowhere, run by the erratic, abusive Miss Dunn and a damaged, shop-window mannequin, with a life of its own. At the Lambs' Home all the boys are named Ivan and all the girls Anna, but Lee's name is all he has left and he's not giving it up. He quickly becomes the focus for the pent-up rage in the orphanage, and no one is coming to save him. But if he can uncover the secret at the heart of the Lambs' Home, he just might be able to escape. For now, all he knows is that the children hate Miss Dunn... but it's the mannequin they fear.
