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
I read this book when I was in elementary school and I LOVED it! I finally got a chance to reread it and it did not disappoint 20+ years later! Read it if you’re into science fiction creepy crawlies!

Fantastic!
I read this book for Brit lit my jr year in high school and I have never read a book for school that I have ever been so on the edge of my seat to turn to the next page, I actually looked forward to going to school so I could read this haha. It's somewhat of a short read but it's worth the buy. After you read this my teacher told me about "Marcos millions" a book that has some to do with this book. So check it out when your done!
