(2) 4-6 When Abram Harsich comes to Robert's drought-stricken town with his Mirror of All Things and grand plans for a rain machine, the mesmerized residents forget their troubles--and their children who are mysteriously disappearing. Eleven-year-old Robert watches the ensuing events quietly and, with increasing unease, begins to question what is happening. His determination and heroic actions are the steady focus of the tale.
