Seven mysterious kids with suitcases step out of the vehicle and into an abandoned home on a dead-end street, looking over their shoulders to make sure they aren't noticed.But Ravani Foster covertly witnesses their arrival from his bedroom window. Timid and lonely, Ravani is eager to learn everything he can about his new neighbors: What secrets are they hiding? and most mysterious of all...where are the adults?Yet amid this shadowy group of children, Ravani finds an unexpected friend in the warm and gutsy Virginia.
