NOVEL: Join the Morningstar children, as they discover an attic with a secret passageway, a magical black fish in a hidden mountain pond, clever and ancient trolls, and a sleeping danger hidden under the mountain. These are just some of the mysteries Will and Julie Morningstar encounter as they explore their new home in the High Sierras and discover that there is more to their odd old house than they ever imagined. (June 14, Thursday: Dear Diary: Today is the first day in our new home. I hope I can get over the funny feeling that has been haunting me since we first arrived this morning. This is a very peculiar old house. It isn't spooky or scary, but it does have an elusive, magical quality, like there is more to it than my eyes can see. It makes it hard to concentrate on unpacking. I think will it hard to sleep tonight. I never sleep well the first night in a strange place. J.C. Morningstar.)
