The House of Dies Drear Summary Array

The House Held Secrets, Thomas Knew, Even Before He First Saw It Looming Gray And Massive On Its Ledge Of Rock. It Had A Century-old Legend -- Two Fugitive Slaves Had Been Killed By Bounty Hunters After Leaving Its Passageways, And Dies Drear Himself, The Abolitionist Who Had Made The House Into A Station On The Underground Railroad, Had Been Murdered There. The Ghosts Of The Three Were Said To Walk Its Rooms....

A huge, old house with secret tunnels, a cantankerous caretaker, and buried treasure is a dream-come-true for 13-year-old Thomas. The fact that it's reputedly haunted only adds to its appeal! As soon as his family moves in, Thomas senses something strange about the Civil War era house, which used to be a critical stop on the Underground Railroad. With the help of his father, he learns about the abolitionists and escaping slaves who kept the Underground Railroad running. While on his own, he explores the hidden passageways in and under the house, piecing clues together in an increasingly dangerous quest for the truth about the past. Newbery medalist Virginia Hamilton creates a heart-pounding adventure with this absorbing classic for older readers. (Ages 9 to 12)
