(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Peter Reynolds. This compelling, unsettling novel begins when twelve-year-old Olivia realizes she has lost her keys. A boy lets her into her apartment building, where she visits several different apartments, each strange and threatening in its own way. Unlike her literary predecessor, Carroll's Alice, Olivia take a metaphorical journey through grief over a death in her family; as she faces that truth, she helps the boy accept an equally difficult one.
