House of Dark Shadows - Robert Liparulo

When his family moves to a small town, 15-year-old Xander discovers there's something odd about their Victorian house. He finds a hidden hallway with portals leading off to far-off places in long-ago times. Is time-travel his dream come true or his worst nightmare? \nDream house . . . or bad dream? \nWhen the Kings move from L.A. to a secluded small town, fifteen-year-old Xander is beyond disappointed. He and his friends loved to create amateur films . . . but the tiny town of Pinedale is the last place a movie buff and future filmmaker wants to land. \n \nBut he, David, and Toria are captivated by the many rooms in the old Victorian fixer-upper they moved into--as well as the heavy woods surrounding the house. \n \nThey soon discover there's something odd about the house. Sounds come from the wrong directions. Prints of giant, bare feet appear in the dust. And when David tries to hide in the linen closet, he winds up in locker 119 at his new school. \n \nThen the really weird stuff kicks in: they find a hidden hallway with portals leading off to far-off places--in long-ago times. Xander is starting to wonder if this kind of travel is a teen's dream come true . . . or his worst nightmare. \n\n
