When Alex's parents have the bright idea to open an inn in the middle of nowhere, eight-year-old Alex knows that boredom is in his future. Then, he sees the house, and he senses that it holds secrets. When he meets the inn's first guest, an oddly dressed man, and finds a mysterious postcard, he sets off to explore. Along with his two sisters, Alex discovers a hidden entrance into the house's tower and a spyglass that sends him back in time. This book is the first in the Time Spies series. The book also includes instructions for making invisible ink and a code for sending secret messages.
