More About This Book

Overview

Why is Chad so uneasy when his California family rents a town house in New York City? Once there he hears voices—late at night, after midnight in this strange house that's at least one hundred years old.

Then he finds that his younger brother, Luke, hears them, too, and even their older sister Heidi's afraid to stay in the house alone.

As Chad and Luke explore the house, they begin to slip in and out of their own time, back to the winter of 1888. Are the voices they hear crying out for help? Will Chad ignore the voices or plunge into the unknown danger of one handred years before?

Living with their sister and parents in a rented house in New York City during the summer, Chad and Luke uncover a mystery involving the former tenants of the house when the two brothers slip back in time to 1888.

    Wow.

    This book was assigned to me for a school project. I was given an old, used copy that was in terrible shape. I read the book summary, and it looked like a stupid book. But, I had to read it. And, it turns out, this was probably one of the top 5 books I have ever read. It has a great plot, great characters, some history, even some humor. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read any kind of book, magazine, or newspaper. This book is amazing. I am so glad I got that book for my project, and I got an A+. (Plus, I did some extra credit because I liked the book so much!)
