Great Series

From the Back of the Book Something Was Changing But what thing? Something was happening in the house, with her brothers, herself. Out on the wide, sun-drenched lawn, down by the hedgerow, down by the black poisonous waters of the Quinella Trace... Something was stirring. What thing? For eleven-year-old Justice the summer was becoming a dream and a nightmare - a hide-and-seek with a force she couldn't see. Alone in the house with her identical twin brothers, Justice knew they were hiding something from her, something they were afraid to let her know. It wasn't just Thomas with his angry stares or Levi disappearing the way he did. It was something (what-thing?) else... It came upon her the morning of the Great Snake Race. A great gift has been bestowed on Justice and her brothers. Together they could be anything, anywhere - even in the future.

A must read!

This is a fascinating book that I read as a child and recently reread (and purchased) as an adult. This book was one of the first I read of the 'fantasy' genre. It really sparked my interest in these types of books. I highly recommend it.

Justice and her brothers.Outstanding!

This is an excelent book,after a while you get sucked into another world where Justice,Thomas and Levi live.But after a while you might get lost in the strange plot.
