(3) 4-6 A dilapidated old house in Wales becomes a castle in the mind's eye of Dinah, an odd, intelligent girl who convinces herself this will be the place where she and her flighty mother settle down for good. Fantasy and reality hauntingly intertwine when stone animals come down from the wall of a real nearby castle to defend Dinah against her mother's boyfriend's antagonism.
