Emily is going out to sled, but the only place to sled is the old castle that is closed. And when she accidently sleds into the area that is closed off, she sets off on an amazing adventure. She meets a person named Simon and a person named Marcus with a wacked out idea of going INTO the castle! Will Emily help Marcus with his crazy idea without getting into trouble? What I liked best about the book was how descriptive it was and how he described the characters.
