Details

Miri's family has just moved into an old farmhouse with lots of interesting places to explore. Miri's bedroom has ten walls, a room-sized closet, and curiously, an eyeglass lens taped to the baseboard. When Miri peers through the lens, she's transported back in time and meets Molly, who often hides in the room from her cruel cousin Horst. Miri wants to save Molly by bringing her back to the present, but what will Miri's parents say? After all, they already have two sets of twins and Miri to care for.

Now that the Gills have moved to an old house on the outskirts of town, she will finally have her own space. When she finds a strange-looking eyeglass lens taped to the wall, Miri looks through it and is magically transported back in time to 1935. She meets Molly, the girl who lived in her room during that period, and although they are from different eras, the two immediately hit it off and seem destined to be close. When Miri discovers that Molly faces grave danger, she vows to use the mysterious magic to help her new friend, a promise that tests Miri’s resourcefulness, loyalty, and courage.
