About This Book
After Kenny Huldorf's family moves into a 1789 row house, Kenny meets the ghost of Caleb, a 16-year-old slave. According to records from the period, Caleb killed himself in the little attic room in Kenny's house. But Caleb says otherwise and involves Kenny in a centuries old mystery that could leave him trapped in the past forever.About the Authors or Illustrators
