Sixth-grader Benjamin Pratt is weathering a few storms. His parents have just split up, his school--a landmark in his old New England sailing town--is about to be torn down, and the janitor sneaks him a mysterious gold coin...hours before he dies unexpectedly. The coin, of course, brings Ben and his friend Jill adventures as they try to preserve their school.
Ruthie thinks nothing exciting will every happen to her until her sixth-grade class visits the Art Institute of Chicago, where she and her best friend Jack discover a magic key that shrinks them to the size of gerbils and allows them to explore the Thorne Rooms-the collection of sixty-eight miniature room decorated for different times and places.
