The Secret of Four Notch

More about the book

Danny loves his life in Pomona, California. With lots of friends and summer adventures to look forward to, he can't wait for school to end. But his plans are crushed when his family abruptly moves to a middle-of-nowhere town in Washington state. The change is too much for Danny. Not only has he lost his friends, he feels like the primitive place he's moved to and even the weather are enemies. As he tries to adjust to his new life, he meets Kip Yotter, a strange kid who shows him around their surprising neighborhood. They have a troubling encounter with Mr. Wolf, who tells them about "Four Notch," a secret place that plays tricks with time. Stubbornly resistant to change, Danny runs away and gets trapped in a long-ago time where each new experience shows him, bit by bit, how to cope when things change too fast.
