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 . . .
