Chapter Book Chips - "The Tilting House" by Tom Llewellyn


The Tilting House by Tom Llewellyn
The Peshik family has finally found a house they can afford. There are a few problems. All the floors in the house tilt. And there are funny diagrams drawn on almost every wall. But they decide to buy the house anyway and so begins their adventure in "The Tilting House." Slanting floors and pictures on the wall are just the start of their troubles. Mr. Peshik accidently makes an enemy out of a family of talking rats living in the attic. Josh and Aaron, the Peshik boys, find some magic grow powder which turns a hiking trip into a survival test. Next, the dimmer switch in the dining room goes on the blink and makes the house disappear from sight . The biggest mystery of all is the story of the man who built the house and the treasure that might be hidden deep inside the basement. A good read for 4th and 5th graders, "The Tilting House" is just spooky enough for this haunting time of year. And for more about this story, visit www.thetiltinghouse.com. -gw-
