review 1: Tony inherits his great-uncle's town house in Boston. The will stipulates that only he can inhabit the top floor. When his family gets to Boston, they discover that the house is falling apart, and the "penthouse" is an unfinished attic. When Tony wakes up on the morning of his 13th birthday, he finds a boy standing there who claims that this is his room, and it is 1939, not 2009. This is a fun book that spans 3 centuries of Boston history. The framework of boy protagonists and baseball makes this a great book for boys. There is mystery - evidence points to treasure in the house, suspense - someone who will stop at nothing to get the treasure, and a fun, lively plot that makes this a great book.
review 2: Layers of time and baseball heroes are Tony's new ... morefriends in the dilapidated Boston house where he and his family now live. Nice for Tony to have friends so close, but eerie, too, because they are no longer of this world. Notes in the back explain that the author intentionally made up the North End address to prevent readers from knocking on the door to see Tony's room. I think I'll google it anyway! Mystery lovers, baseball lovers, historical fiction lovers, time travel lovers--you are all going to want to read this one! less
