A weird old neighbor, The Talking Man, who might hold the key to solving it. And a talking rat! This book is a blast. —Recommended by Jeff, City Lights Books (For ages 8-11)
"Whaddya say you boys and me take five and poke around a bit?"
"Poke around where?" I asked.
"Around our new house. I'll bet if we look in every nook and cranny, we'll uncover a secret or two."
“A secret?” asked Aaron. “What kind of secret?”
“I don't know.” Dad grinned as he struggled to get up from the tilting couch. “A house built with tilting floors has got to have secrets.”
