Summary: It starts when Cal gets off the train at the wrong stop in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere. He's stranded. Following a muddy path leads him to a castle that appears to be deserted. But inside is Corbenic, a magnificent hotel filled with rich people preparing for a banquet—and Cal is their guest of honor. During the meal, he experiences a disturbing vision, but when he is asked to talk about what he has seen, he denies it. What if he's becoming crazy, like his mother? When Cal wakes the next morning, the elegant castle turns out to be nothing more than an abandoned ruin. But something inside him has changed—he now knows he needs to right the wrongs in his life. It will be a difficult journey, and if Cal achieves his goal, it will not be without cost. The first step—he must return to Corbenic.

Comment: When I first saw the cover of this book, I thought that it was going to be one of those creepy books with a killer on the loose. Well, I was wrong on that. This book is mostly about Cal trying to forgive his mother and find the palace of Corbenic. I would recommend this book more to boys only because that some of the parts really relate to boys than girls. ~soccerdude1123 Raffle tickets go to Itunes gift cards.
