The Crystal of Dreams (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615134772)

THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD NICK BARRETT was amazed to see a harbor seal swimming close to the Cape Cod shore. But when the seal suddenly vanished in a crashing wave and an oddly dressed boy washed up on the beach, Nick's summer vacation changed in an instant. Why did this boy seem so very different than Nick and his friends? Why did his speech sound so old-fashioned? And why did this boy, Ethan Kemp, have no memory of where he came from? Back in Nick's hometown of Sudbury, Ethan and his new friends try to solve the mystery of his past. They soon find themselves drawn deeply into a century's old puzzle involving a blind hermit, encounters with Babe Ruth and Henry Ford, an evil puppeteer who seeks to control their thoughts, and a crystal pendent whose secret is so powerful that the only solution may be to return to the past to keep it hidden forever. The Crystal of Dreams is a story of time travel and friendship spanning colonial and modern times.
