Ruthie and Jack thought that their adventures in the Thorne Rooms were over . . . until miniatures from the rooms start to disappear. Is it the work of the art thief who's on the loose in Chicago? Or has someone else discovered the secret of the Thorne Rooms' magic? Ruthie and Jack's quest to stop the thief takes them from modern day Chicago to 1937 Paris to antebellum South Carolina. But as more items disappear, including the key that allows them to shrink and access the past worlds, what was once just an adventure becomes a life and death race against the clock. Can Ruthie and Jack catch the thief and help the friends they meet on the way before the magic—and the rooms—are destroyed forever? Fans of magic, mystery, and adventure will love this rollicking sequel to Marianne Malone's The Sixty-Eight Rooms.

      It's a great pleasure to rejoin Ruthie and Jack in this sequel to THE SIXTY-EIGHT ROOMS. Both books take place in the Thorne Miniature Rooms at Chicago's Art Institute. Narrator Cassandra Campbell once again adds her warm and charming voice to Malone's many well-drawn characters. In their time travel, the kids meet and help Louisa, a Jewish girl who is leaving Europe during WWII, and Phoebe, a slave girl from South Carolina. They also manage track down an art thief. Campbell accurately delivers German and Southern accents and a splendid range of Chicago twangs. Along with the fascinating mystery, many interesting history and art lessons are imparted without sounding didactic. Author Malone closes by distinguishing between truth and fantasy. One hopes future adventures await an appreciative audience. S.G.B. (c) AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
