Description
As if life isn't already complicated when you have to sneak out a magical side door and enter a different century just to get to school each morning.
And now Silent has to figure out what happened to her beloved Aunt Generous, the woman who raised her--which would be complicated enough even if CIA agents in black SUVs weren't chasing her--but they definitely are!
Advance Praise
"Highly recommended for school and community library fantasy fiction collections for young readers... An original and delightfully entertaining read from first page to last."
—Midwest Book Review
"Readers are held in lasting suspense... Tributaries escaping from the main plot along with Hiam’s outrageous inventiveness and sense of humor are a splendid precursor to an extraordinary genre of teenage fiction."
—San Francisco Book Review
"The Harry-Potter-like Sie is intelligent and resourceful—she is determined to find out what happened to her beloved great aunt and devoted to her spellcasting studies—and Raahi is an appealing, affable sidekick... The novel is short, digestible, and adventurous but not too dark, ideal for teens transitioning to middle-grade novels."
—Kirkus Review
"Hiam’s narrative skills envelop young teen readers in his fantasy tale as easily as Silent Lee slips in and out of the centuries."
—Books for Kids Blog
"Filled with page turning adventures from beginning to end. My son is a Harry Potter and Narnia fan and loves this book. We can't wait to get our hands on another book in the series!"
