Club: The Sixty-Eight Rooms by
Marianne Malone
We had the privilege of reading Marianne Malone’s The Sixty Eight Rooms for our first book
and we loved it. It tells the story of two friends, Jack and Ruthie, who find a
magic key that allows them to explore The Thorne Rooms in The Art Institute of
Chicago. These sixty-eight rooms are
miniature replicas of various time periods ranging from medieval times to the
1970s. The book is full of mystery, suspense, and history (even some local history
in Topsfield and Salem)! We highly
recommend reading this book and decided to make our own miniature room to
represent a present day living room, complete, of course, with a flat screen
t.v. and computer.
