Summary: Ruthie thinks nothing exciting will ever happen to her until her sixth-grade class visits the Art Institute of Chicago, where she and her best friend Jack discover a magic key that shrinks them to the size of gerbils and allows them to explore the Thorne Rooms--the collection of sixty-eight miniature rooms from various time periods and places--and discover their secrets.
Review: The mixture of fantasy and history that are intertwined throughout this book is simply stunning. The Thorne Rooms themselves are wonderful in their own right but to come alive in the book made them so much more magical. The characters were very believable and their curiosity that they showed was a little more than the average person, but still made you wish you were the characters too. The story was told beautifully, and because it was so enjoyable it was an extremely quick read.
