Summary:
It all starts the summer Neely and her little brother, Grub, accidentally fina a way to sneak into Halcyon House. It's a magnificent mansion that was deserted years ago. Inside they discover a playroom full of wonderful old-fashioned toys. Despite the spookiness of the house and the rumors about a ghost that haunts it-and despite the fact that they don't belong there-the playroom becomes their secret hideaway. Then the owners suddenly return to Halcyon House. Neely befriends Curtis, a boy her own age whose wild boasts and black moods make her uneasy. When Neely is warned to protect her little brother, she thinks first of the ghost-unles there is a present-day evil lurking in Halcyon House...
