Twin brothers discover their new home is also a portal to a parallel dimension in this spine-chilling middle-grade adventure, perfect for fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society--now available in paperback!

Twelve-year-old twins Colm and Mal might look identical, but they’re different in just about every other way. The one thing they can agree on is that neither brother wants to move to Chicago for a fresh start with their mom two years after their dad’s death.
 
The boys soon discover that their new apartment building, Brunhild Tower, is full of strange quirks: a mysterious Princess who warns them not to wander the building at midday, eerie sounds coming from the walls, and an elevator that’s missing a button for the thirteenth floor. Then one afternoon, that button appears, catapulting the brothers and their inquisitive new neighbor, Tamika, into a parallel dimension and a twin building stuck in time, where the spirits of all the former residents of Brunhild Tower live on, trapped by an ancient curse. Now, Colm, Mal, and Tamika must race against time to solve the mystery of the phantom tower—or risk spending an eternity as ghosts themselves.

Praise for The Phantom Tower

Praise for The Phantom Tower:

A Chicago Tribune Best Children's Book

"Goose bump-inducing fun." --Kirkus Reviews

"Hand to fans of Eoin Colfer's 'Artemis Fowl' novels, Roland Smith's 'IQ' series, or Mac Barnett's 'The Brixton Brothers.'" --School Library Journal

"Exciting action, a creepy curse and well-drawn characters." --Chicago Tribune

Praise for The Tiny Mansion:

"I loved this book! It was a pleasure to follow Dagmar, a girl who knows how hard life can be, as she takes on all the challenges that come her way, with grit, intelligence and a not insignificant amount of rebelliousness. This hard-to-put-down adventure is fast-paced and will captivate young readers." --Marianne Malone, author of The Sixty-Eight Rooms

"Keir Graff doesn't miss! A smart, rambunctious romp with quirky twists, sharp social commentary, and a lot of heart. The tart, dryly witty Dagmar is a perfect foil for this engaging cast of weirdos, creeps, and rebels. Perfect for anyone who wants to read about people breaking from the pack and going their own way." --James Kennedy, author of The Order of Odd-Fish

"Graff's signature, over-the-top plotting builds to a thrilling climax. The whimsically drawn characters are good company . . . This smart, hilarious mashup of off-the-grid minimalism and smart-home consumerism adds up to a quirky treat." --Kirkus Reviews

"A compelling coming-of-age journey-sometimes carefree, sometimes emotional-of family, reconciliation, and finding yourself." --Booklist
