- Patricia Reilly Giff, Eleven, paperback
Sam must solve the mystery of who he really is.

Sam is almost 11 when he discovers a locked box in the attic above his grandfather Mackâ‚¬s room, and a piece of paper that says he was kidnapped. There are lots of other words, but Sam has always had trouble reading. Heâ‚¬s desperate to find out who he is, and if his beloved Mack is really his grandfather. At night heâ‚¬s haunted by dreams of a big castle and a terrifying escape on a boat. Who can he trust to help him read the documents that could unravel the mystery? Then he and the new girl, Caroline, are paired up to work on a school project, building a castle in Mackâ‚¬s woodworking shop. Caroline loves to read, and she can help. But sheâ‚¬s moving soon, and the two must hurry to discover the truth about Sam.
