Then a House Fell on Her Head . . .

By Frances O'Roark Dowell

Book Overview

When a sixth grader discovers a mysterious, sometimes-there-sometimes-not house in the woods, it throws into question everything she believed--and everything she didn't--in this immersive speculative mystery from acclaimed author Frances O'Roark Dowell. Perfect for fans of Kate DiCamillo

Sarah T. doesn't believe in a lot of things anymore:

That her best friend is still her best friend now that her best friend has a new best friend.

That her dad still loves her as much as he used to, now that he has a new baby and a new wife.

She isn't even sure she believes in magic, when once upon a time she believed that anything was possible.

But when she follows a pair of beckoning squirrels up up up a leafy driveway to a clearing in the woods, and a house falls on her head? A house that seems like it could be from an old-time movie? Sarah T. definitely believes something strange is going on.

So does the new kid in her class, a boy genius who has scientific theories about time travel...even though he's not so good with cell phones or computers. For the first time in a long time, Sarah T. feels like she's got somebody on her side. But what happens when the house falls on her head again--and this time the new kid's standing right next to her?
