The Boxes

(3) 4-6 When Annie's uncle entrusts her with two boxes, with the admonition not to open them, what do you think happens? Plenty. The contents of the boxes are spooky and wondrous and do strange things to Time. Meanwhile, sinister strangers are trailing Annie and her friend Henry. Sleator's inventiveness is at full power here, but the story is left unresolved. Let's hope there's a sequel--soon--because the book as it stands isn't finished.
