"A jaunty and enlightening supernatural tale." -Kirkus Reviews
★★★★★ "Packed with magic, history, and suspense, this book is a fantastic selection for children. Loved the innocence of this novel and Sara's staunch moral compass. Well-written. Refreshing." -Readers' Favorite, 5-star review
The old hotel's bizarre paintings are hiding a secret. She can feel it.
The very walls of 100-year-old Hotel Oregon vibrate with magic. But is it good magic? When ten-year-old Sara discovers ghost children trapped in one of the paintings by a witch's curse, she must use her wits to save them before the fast-approaching eclipse condemns them forever to oblivion. She's in a high-stakes battle against two formidable foes-evil magic and the ticking clock.
To make matters worse, she needs the help of the one person she can't count on-her brother Daniel who seems to despise her. Will he come through for her? Or enjoy watching her fail.
Not once. But twice.
This exciting second book in the series is a must-read for curious readers who gobble up books filled with mystery, magic and adventure. (ages 8 and up)
