Synopsis

Annie's Uncle Marco goes on one of his mysterious trips, leaving her in charge of two sealed boxes on one condition: she must not open either one while he is away. But she is tempted...and soon she has unleashed the unspeakable. The creatures inside the box are crab-like and grotesque. And they possess a power Annie could never have imagined: the power to transmute time."Sleator is the master of the creepy-crawly, and his inventiveness is at full power here." --The Horn Book

Revue de presse

THE BEASTIES: 'With all the moral complexity of H.G. Wells' THE TIME MACHINE ... May well leave readers with some soul-searching questions about nature's changing environment that resonate long after the cover is closed.' (Publisher's Weekly)

INTERSTELLAR PIG: 'Sleator's science fiction story is compelling on first reading - but stellar on the second ... raises enough questions to keep readers thinking - and wondering - well past the last page.' (School Library Journal)

THE NIGHT THE HEADS CAME: '... A thought-provoking, page-turning exploration of alien life forms.' (Booklist)

THE BOXES: 'William Sleator has git on another winner with this entertaining, pacy yarn.' (Birmingham Evening Mail, July 2001)
