Magic is just a way of setting things right…
Miri is the non-twin child in a family with two sets of them-older brothers and younger sisters. The family has just moved to an old farmhouse in a new town, where the only good thing seems to be Miri's ten-sided attic bedroom. But when Miri gets sent to her room after accidentally bashing her big brother on the head with a shovel, she finds herself in the same room . . . only not quite.
"Barrows once again presents utterly real kids. This is pleasing fare that adds a bit of history and a tad of mystery into the mix." --Booklist
"Barrows is particularly deft with characters' language, effectively distinguishing between the time periods and mirroring the way kids really talk to each other. This is a handy introduction to time travel for a younger set." --BCCB
“Barrows conjures up a delightful tale brimming with mystery, magic, and adventure that will surely enchant readers everywhere.”–School Library Journal
