A Time for Andrew:
A Ghost Story

By Mary Downing Hahn

Clarion, 1994

 

 

Eleven-year-old Drew Tyler decides that instead of going to summer camp, he'd rather stay with this 80-year-old great aunt Blythe while his parents are away in France. He has second thoughts when they arrive at the dilapidated old house and when he hears his great-grandfather shout that he doesn't want Drew anywhere near him. While exploring the attic with his aunt, Drew learns he has a namesake. They discover a photograph of a boy who looks exactly like him and a cigar box filled with marbles and a note, dated June 7, 1910. As the story progresses Drew and his look-alike are involved in adventures together. Read about the deal he makes and the adjustments made by both boys in this fantastic time-travel story.
