[0-689-71680-X]
Eleven-year-old Emily's parents die in an accident around the turn
of the century and she is sent off to live with her aunt and uncle in
San Francisco.  When she arrives, her uncle is missing and the
house has become an old age home in which strange things are
happening.  Her aunt is a servant to the cruel people running the
place and Emily becomes one also, both living in terrible
conditions.  Emily goes about trying to help the old people in the
home while trying find out what has happened to her uncle and his
elegant mansion.  This 198 page book keeps the reader tense until
then end when all questions are answered.
