this book is a mystery. People keep moving in and out of apartment n-2. The noboors are curious as to why. They've seen a white faced man in the window, but nobody lives there. A couple of the kids on another hallway wants to explore the apartment and see why nobody stays. There parents don't want them to look around but there parents know they want to figure it out. What will they do?

The chapters are short but have enough content to keep students engaged. I paired each chapter with a different comprehension strategy and it worked well for my one-on-one tutoring sessions with a 4th grader. The book also lends it self to other teaching strategies, such as guided reading, fluency building, etc.
