When 14-year-old Charlotte Whittaker hears a knocking on her 14th story bedroom window, she assumes it's wind. After all, winter in New York can get pretty crazy. But never would she have expected a boy her age-- who acts as if he's from the 1700's-- to crawl through. On top of that, he claims to be able to fly, have a pixie sidekick, AND a rebellious shadow that just won't stay near him. And when he offers to take her and her brothers on "an adventure of a lifetime," she is justifiably hesitant. What she doesn't know is that this adventure, or more, this mysterious boy, could change her life forever.
