The Sixty-Eight Rooms Audiobook

" Cute story. I recommend it for younger readers too. "

" Deep within the Art Institute of Chicago is an amazing collection of miniature rooms. Rooms so detailed in their minute decorations as to cause great wonderment as to their creation. On a school field trip to the museum, two children discover a magical key that enables them to shrink down to the perfect size to wander around the display. All is not magic though when they discover that the rooms are doorways into past history. Blend that with a modern day mystery involving a security guard and you have a fabulous adventure story for boys and girls alike. "

" Interesting book for those that thought it would be cool to shrink and be a little person. A little slow but fun and had some history added in. Reminded me a bit of a more advanced Magic Tree House. "

" This book was pretty good, but i felt that it was too short and not a lot happended in the entire book. It had a clever story. I liked that the rooms where magic and that only the girl could shrink and that the boy ha dto sjrink with her help. It was only exciting at a few parts like when the little girl saw her and told her mom who came back to find nothing. I though thta author didn't go into enough description of the rooms though. "

The author sprinkles the story with bits of history and a new little world (literally) of exploration. It's a "what if . . ." adventure that reminded me of From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs Basil E. Frankweiler. Size it up for yourself! "

" This would be a good book for 3rd to 5th graders. "

" it was a really good book, i loved it. "

" This book made me want to visit the rooms. I adore miniatures and dollhouses. Throw in some magic, and it was a captivating read. "

" This book was really fun and full of adventure. "

" A delightful story! Now I have to check out the real Thorne Rooms! "

" If you have ever looked at a doll house or other miniature display and wished you were small so you could go in and explore or imagined what it would be like to do so, this book is for you. Not a big draw for older readers, but younger kids will like this one. "

" GREAT BOOK!!!!! Can't wait for the next one!!!! "

" I am putting this on my list of books to read to the girls. I could read it to them now and they'd enjoy it, but they'll enjoy it even more if I read it before we take another trip to the Art Institute of Chicago. They book is an easy, fun read. "

" This was a really good book. It is kind of a cross between The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankwiler (sp?) and The Doll People (both of which I love, too). "

" pretty good. little bit of history and smathering of fantasy. "

" My mom read this to me and Nathan. "

" this is the best book ever!!!! it mixes history with the present and as a reader draws you in!!!!!! i hope it wins the newberry! "

" Love this book. Can't wait for the next one to come out. "

" I have finished this book "

" I am putting this on my list of books to read to the girls. I could read it to them now and they'd enjoy it, but they'll enjoy it even more if I read it before we take another trip to the Art Institute of Chicago. They book is an easy, fun read. "

" it was seriously magically intriguing, i just could not put it down. "

" this book is a great book that once you start it, you CAN NOT PUT IT DOWN. "

" fun story but not much character development "

" I love reading about all the different rooms and time periods. I like that the characters become involved with others in the rooms. "

" I probably enjoyed this young adult book more because I love the Thorne rooms in the Art Institute. Reading the book made me want to go see them again. "

" I read this with my 9 year old son - a great story! "
