As the summer of 1999 draws to a close, Charlotte and Henry are coming to terms with a week-long Tower Room adventure that had cast them back sixty years, to a Toronto poised on the brink of war, ostensibly to resolve the childhood trauma of Gwendolyn MacFarlane. Except nothing was resolved, only witnessed. In fact, before returning to their own time, Charlotte herself took part in the very events that would shape, in some small way, the flawed woman Gwendolyn grew up to be. Now the two friends are unexpectedly offered the opportunity to embark on a second trip – this one physical rather than temporal – accompanying Gwendolyn to London, England, where she will reconnect with Sarah, a former tutor and actress, who left Toronto with Gwendolyn’s older brother Charlie when he went overseas to join the RAF. There Gwendolyn will have the long-severed threads of her unhappy childhood within reach and be confronted with difficult truths about herself and the life she has lived. The question is whether she will recognize resolution for what it is and be able to stitch the torn aspects of her life back together again.
Includes a sneak peek at the next Henry adventure.
Mealworms are small creatures that live in dark secret places. Jeremy is a bit like that when he leaves his home in rural Nova Scotia and moves to Toronto with his mother. Lots of things keep him from enjoying his new life, but the worst is his science partner, Aaron, who is more annoying than sand in a bathing suit. Jeremy is also burdened by the secret he carries about the motorcycle accident that injured him and killed his father. Although Jeremy is haunted by his past, he starts to feel at home in Toronto when he realizes he has some skills he can share with his classmates. And when his mealworm project yields some surprising results, Jeremy is finally able to talk about his part in the fatal accident.
