Artifacts. Miseries. Mysteries . . . From the moment Horace F. Andrews sees the sign from the bus—a sign with his own name on it—everything changes. The sighting leads him underground, to the House of Answers, a hidden warehouse full of mysterious objects. But there he finds only questions. What is this curious place? Who are the strange, secretive people who entrust him with a rare and immensely powerful gift? And what is he to…

When Horace Andrews is sitting on the bus and sees his name on a sign, he decides to investigate. His curiosity leads him to discover an underground cellar of secrets, called the House of Answers – except Horace unearths more questions than answers! He meets Chloe and her dragonfly and they are soon catapulted into a world of magic that has some scientific basis. Despite its 544 pages, this book is hard to put down with real and familiar characters. Enjoyable for both children and adults.
