Get small!

Have you visited the miniature Thorne Rooms at the Art Institute of Chicago? Ever wished you could live inside them? You will love The Sixty-Eight Rooms by Marianne Malone. While on a field trip to the Art Institute, 6th-graders Ruthie and Jack find a magic key that lets them shrink down to the size of gerbils. The kids start to explore the tiny rooms and learn that they are not the first to do so; there's a magical mystery in the Thorne Rooms. If they can solve it, they can change someone's life for the better! This is a great read for fans of Blue Balliet's Chasing Vermeer, and anyone who loves life in miniature.
