Red Hart Magic
When his father marries her mother, Chris Fitton and Nan Mallory - both
twelve - are thrust into a new life. While their parents are enjoying an
extended honeymoon, Chris and Nan must live with Aunt Elizabeth, attend
new schools, and worst of all, be civil to one another. They're certain
that their future is bleak - until Chris's visit to the Salvation Army
store. It is there that he finds the model of the Red Hart Inn, a
structure that holds a strange allure for them both.
That
night, Chris and Nan find themselves in the same dream - living inside
the Red Hart Inn in seventeenth century England. And when danger
threatens, they must set aside their differences and find a way to work
together - before it's too late.
