Time Windows - by Kathryn Reiss (Paperback)

About the Book

In this story that is reminiscent of "Indian in the Cupboard", a girl named Miranda must unlock the past before her family falls under a terrifying spell.

Book Synopsis

When Miranda moves with her family to a new house in a small Massachusetts town, she discovers a mysterious antique--a dollhouse. Through the windows, she is shocked to find what seem to be living people in the tiny rooms, and gradually she realizes that scenes from the lives of the big house's past inhabitants are being replayed there.
