One night, Isabel wakes with a start, freezing, on the floor.
Ugh, she must've fallen out of the top bunk again! And stupid Joseph and Bertram didn't even notice! At least it doesn't hurt that much this time, and she doesn't seem to have any broken bones.
Did she have a nightmare? Isabel can't remember, but she's so awake all of a sudden, and so hungry. She can hear the boys snoring in their beds, as always, but Aunt Margery tossing and turning in the other room, too? Everything's way too loud, and the room is strangely bright...
Something weird has happened.
