About This Item
San Diego: Harcourt, Inc., 2002. First Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. This is a first printing of the first edition, with a complete letter line. The interior of the book is crisp and clean, with no marks or signatures, and very few signs of previou use. The blue and red covers are bright, again with next to no wear. The silver gilt spine lettering is still bright. The dust jacket is not price-clipped and is also in excellent condition, with next to no wear. A lovely copy. The attached scan should give a better idea of condition. Synopsis: "Something is terribly wrong with Connor's mom. She's acting very strange: wearing old-fashioned clothes, cooking dinner from scratch, even removing all of the TVs from the house. An she's become secretive about an old art book full of paintings of a woman who looks exactly like her . Just when he thinks things can't get worse, Connor is whisked back in time to the 1920s. There he encounters an eccentric artist whose obsession with Connor's mom has unleashed an ancient magic . Connor conceals his identity and poses as an orphan so he can stay with the artist's family. But can he save his mom and himself from danger and find a way back home before it's too late?
Synopsis
Something is terribly wrong with Connor's mom--she keeps slipping into bizarre trances. Connor suspects that the key to his mom's strange behavior is an old art book filled with paintings of a woman who looks exactly like her. But the artist who created those paintings died before his mom was even born. Connor gets his chance to break the evil link between the past and the present when he is mysteriously whisked back in time to the 1920s. But can he save his mom--and himself--before it's too late?
