Ghost Hotel

Beschreibung

Can two modern-day kids solve the mystery of the ghost that haunts the old hotel--or will they be trapped in the past forever? Walter Biggar Bronson (a.k.a. Wart) and his friend Cindy meet a ghost one night after school. The small, mournful boy leads them across the Broadway Bridge to the gracious Bessborough Hotel. After a strange incident in the elevator, they find themselves still in the hotel-but back in 1936. Some spooky things are going on. The room numbers are all mixed up. The library on the mezzanine is filled with hundreds of copies of the same book. And out on the street, the cars are all the same-vintage Studebakers. Back in the present, Wart and Cindy follow their motto-"Gather, identify, solve"-as they attempt to crack the case, with help from Wart's distinctly odd parents and the loan of his mother's time-travel-proof cell phone. If they fail, they may be trapped in the ghostly past forever . . .

Autor

I was raised by hobbits. And dwarves. And a dragon named Smaug. It was a strange, boisterous family, but always entertaining and always an adventure.My uncle was a Jedi. He took me to a desert planet to hone my lightsabre skills. And there I met my cousin, who was the Muad'Dib from Dune. We travelled the worlds together: It was an adventure, always an adventure.Others, who I went to school with, might say I grew up on a ranch in the Cypress Hills of southwest Saskatchewan, Canada. That I rode horses and chased cows, but always had a book in my hand. I later went to university and worked in advertising. They may be right, but I still crave second breakfast every day. And have a burn scar from trying to open a can of beans with my lightsaber.I've spent my life living in and creating other worlds. Places where spies can shape-change to defeat their enemies, hero assassins can rise to defeat an empire, or dragons can breathe fire and snark at the same time. They are worlds of great fun, humour and heroism. You're welcome to visit at anytime. You deserve an adventure.
