As Scilla, Beamer, and Ghoulie explore the caves under Murphy Street, they discover a miniaturized and animated version of their town. When they try to find out how it got there they meet a reclusive old man, large spider robots, and a mean housekeeper—or is it housekeepers? Throw in some more strange adventures in the spaceship-treehouse and this story is full of excitement.
I think this second in the series is even better than the first and look forward to reading the third. Great for 8-12 year olds, but I’m in my 30’s and loved it!

In the beginning of the book, the Star Fighters take a shortcut through a secret hole to get to the spaceship faster while they're traveling. They get chased by a unknown animal! Finally, they are faced with a mystery. Mr. Parker is missing. In the end, they saved Mr. Parker's dream from greedy people. I think it is a great book for an 11 year old kid!

Won the book from a goodreads give away. Gave to my 11 year old son to read. He really liked the Magic Tree House books and felt this one was very similar just with different characters. He enjoyed the book but would have probably liked it more when he was younger. Overall he said not a bad read.
