Summary: Something Upstairs, by Avi
Review: This book is a good read for kids just starting the young adult readers book. It is about a boy named Kenny Huldorf, who had just moved into a new house in Providence Rhode Island. He is living in a house that was owned by many different people, 12 families to be exact, dating back to 1636 the day it was built. His parents give him the attic for his room, though he does not know there is a little room at then end of his room. It was used for a slave living quarters. One night when kenny is asleep, he hears a noise comming from the room, he came to investigate and he saw some of his boxes moving across the floor, and under them was a little glowing stain, with two hands sticking out. Eventually a whole body had emerged and kenny was in shock. Kenny has seen the ghost that haunts his new home. He realizes that this boy was a black slave, and trys to talk with him, he only disapeers though. So the next day kenny went to the historian in the library and got information on his home. He finds out that there were slaves once living in his home. The next night he sees the ghost again, but this time when he goes back to go to his bed, its not his bed...or his room. He had traveled back in time to the time of the boy...Caleb. He ran outside saw the new world, and was amazed, nothing was the same, but yet everything was the same (if that makes any sense to you). He reaches in his pocket for his dodgers key chain closes his eyes and he is back in his time. Caleb finds out about this, and asks Kenny to help him find how he died...find his murderer!
