(2) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Lesley is drawn into a mystery when she sees a strange child peering down at her from the attic of the house next door. The three neighbor children adamantly maintain that she is hallucinating, but the secret is shortly revealed--they are hiding a frightened young illegal immigrant. As adept at plotting as she is in characterization, Alcock knows how to build tension from chapter to chapter in the best cliffhanger tradition.
