Fans of magic, mystery, and adventure will love the third The Sixty-Eight Rooms Adventure—a perfect next step for kids who love the Magic Tree House series, and just right for readers who love Chasing Vermeer, The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, and Wonderstruck. Sixth Graders Ruthie and Jack return to the Art Institute of Chicago's magical Thorne Rooms. During a school presentation, Ruthie and Jack discover that their classmate Kendra is descended from Phoebe Monroe, the young slave they befriended when they traveled to 19th-century South Carolina. Kendra tells them that long ago her family lost their good name and their business selling herbal remedies when mobsters accused them of stealing the recipes! Only Ruthie and Jack know the truth—because only they know about the secret ledger that Phoebe wrote the recipes in long ago! Ruthie and Jack's mission to clear Kendra's name takes them back to the Thorne Rooms, where a mysterious old coin leads them to 1753 Cape Cod and to Jack's own ancestor . . . the pirate Jack Norfleet! But playing with history can be dangerous! Suddenly, Jack's very existence is in jeopardy! Can Ruthie and Jack find the proof they need to help Kendra? And can they fix the past and save Jack's future . . . before it's too late?

      Ruthie and Jack return to the Thorne Miniature Rooms for this third--and riskiest--Sixty-Eight Rooms adventure. Narrator Cassandra Campbell excels with characters ranging from feisty elders to modern kids and historical figures; all sound lively and believable. This time the duo helps a classmate prove that her slave ancestor invented health potions that were later stolen by Chicago mobsters. Also, Jack meets a pirate relative in 1753 Cape Cod. Most thrilling, Ruthie must use her wiles to save Jack, who nearly succumbs to the magic that enables them to travel back in time when they visit the Thorne Rooms. S.G.B.
