520 |a Thirteen-year-old Rowan and his eleven-year-old sister Nina, still bereft by the death of their mother the year before, experience an unusual adventure through time when they come to stay with their two eccentric great-aunts in a small town on the Maine coast. Rowan Popplewell's life stinks. He can think of ten reasons why without even trying. And having to spend the summer in tiny Owatannauk, Maine, with two strange aunts and his silent sister, Nina, isn't even the biggest one. But just when he thinks he's in for a month of shell collecting and watching the grass grow, Rowan notices weird things going on in Owatannauk, especially at the old, abandoned hotel at the edge of town. Xanthe and Xavier, twins who befriend Rowan, invite him to explore the place. Aunt Agatha warns him not to go near it. Rowan isn't sure what he wants to do. Then the weirdest and worst thing of all happens -- Nina disappears. Now Rowan, who has made it through every level of every video game he's ever played, finds himself in a game with rules he doesn't know against the toughest opponent of all -- time. Maiya Williams's thrilling first novel -- packed with gadgets, eccentrics, and unexpected travel -- is sure to remind readers of classic magic-tinged adventures.
