(2) YA Fifteen-year-old orphan Danny and his foster mother move from London to Blackbriar, "a cottage...near the sea" that was a pesthouse during the seventeenth century's Great Plague. Combined with Danny's growing awareness of himself are his adventures in discovering the various secrets of the house. The story is mysterious and suspenseful, and its effectiveness lies in Sleator's characterizations and narrative skill.
