The 68 Rooms by Marianne Malone

This story is based on the Chicago Thorne rooms (a room in the Chicago Museum of Art that has lots of little doll house rooms).  In this story there is a boy and a girl who find a coin that can shrink them so that they can go into the Thorne rooms.  The Thorne rooms take them back in time.  The coin leads them to a lot of adventure and fun.  There are three more books in the series which are mysteries.  In these books, the children continue to explore the worlds in the Thorne rooms.

There is a book that Peter gave to me that shows all the rooms from the museum.  I can show you the rooms from the book if you read it.

These are pictures of some of the rooms from the museum.
