About the book
Eleanor and Edward Hall are orphans being raised by their Aunt Lily and Uncle Freddy in a faded old Victorian mansion. When they stumble upon the hidden bedroom of another aunt and uncle who disappeared from the house as children, they begin a series of dream adventures in hopes of discovering the fate of their lost relatives and restoring the family fortunes. An imaginative and exciting tale that weaves the philosophical themes of Transcendentalism with good old magic and just enough danger to keep you on the edge of your seat.
