Good book

this book is about a girl (annine) is told to not open these 2 boxes but when she does weird things start to happen.

Great!

William Sleator is da bomb in this Sci Fi book, the way he writes keeps the reader interested throughout. read it!

A wonderful Pandora's Box, plot-twisiting, free-for-all!!!

Another wonderful book from the mind of William Sleator. Again, his writing is clear and understandable, but his plot twists are wonderfully unexpected. For every child who has been told not to open a door, or look in a box, this book will keep you imagination reaming with posibilties long after you put the book down. A true classic in the sense that you find something new everytime you read it. So go ahead and read it.
