Thirteen-year-old Eli Mink leaves behind his comfortable life in suburban New Jersey
with his private basketball court and in-ground pool to attend Yeshivah Kesser Dan in
the frigid Alaskan tundra. When a mysterious shadow appears in the sixth-floor window
of the historic Ramoni Manor, Eli and his friends feel compelled to investigate. What is
happening in the attic, and why is it forbidden for the boys to go there?
Debut author Y.M. Hodgbi takes readers on a treacherous adventure through snow-
covered Alaska from its dense green forests to its icy lakes as Eli endeavors to
discover the startling secrets of Ramoni Manor.
