The Door to Time / Pierdomen Baccalari / 222 pages

Julia and Jason Covenant (twins) and their friend, Rick, follow clues found on old parchment scrolls to solve the mystery of Argo Manor.  Nestor, the caretaker of Ulysses Moore's ancient English home, is as mysterious and seems as ancient as the house he maintains.  The kids solve the OPEN code - owl, porcupine, elephant, newt, to open the ancient, scarred door.  Behind this door, they find yet other puzzles to be solved. The Dictionary of  Forgotten Languages which they checked out of the library proves to be invaluable.  Finding an old Viking ship in the grotto cove, they sail to Egypt.  Oblivia Newton spies on the children.  She wants to own Ulysses Moore's home.

"Everyone has their own personal ghost.  Everyone is haunted by something."
