The Hole in the Wall / Lisa Rowe Faustino / 214 pages

The Hole in the Wall is eleven year old Sebastian Daniels' perfect escape. If he holds his head just right he can see a kaleidoscope of colors flickering around in his secret cave.  Over time he has closed off the cave's mouth and established various creature comforts withing its cozy space.  You would think he would have been content with the castle in his backyard, but his grandmother's cuckoo clocks and his brother's absence make it a poor choice for a hang out.  This most unusual book features a fast-paced mystery, ecological concerns, a bickering family, and much, much more...including magnetic chickens!
