Jeremy Margate discovers a secret doorway in his bedroom that leads to a long, dark staircase. Guided somehow by the mysterious Sotten Niederkorn, who built the house 125 years earlier, Jeremy deciphers cyptic clues to reveal the magic that awaits below.
I'm totally biased, but I do think this is an excellent book. Even though it's meant for 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th graders, adults have enjoyed it too. Maybe you'll be next! It's a mixture of fantasy, mystery and adventure.
