Explanation During Books Singularity

Barry and Harry Krasner are identical twins, but that's where the resemblance stops. Barry's more athletic, more aggressive - and he's the one who suggests that they house-sit their great-uncle's farm. Harry hopes that it will bring the two of them closer. And it does - because there's something chilling about the farmhouse, something that makes the locals stay far away. The twins are sure that the locked shed on the property is the reason why - but what they find inside is far more horrible than their worst nightmare.

Nice Sci-fi book. It is about this time-travel rock.

I first read this book in middle school twenty years ago and have been having flashbacks of it ever since. I finally ordered and reread it. I love the psychological and physical transformation that Harry goes through during his "few hours" in the playhouse. I often feel I'm in my own metaphorical playhouse. I love the concept that daily habits can completely transform a person over time.

Barry, as usual, gets his way and him and his twin brother Harry are sent off to their dead great-uncle's deserted farm to "house-sit." Barry has always been more athletic and aggressive.

Barry opposes and threatens to stay in

Interesting science fiction tale dealing with issues of twin identity and how to adjust to it in an intriguing way. Harry's time of isolation also correlates with the creature coming through that all the characters have noticed and is an enjoyable read again and again.

This book was super interesting. I read this probably 12 years ago, so my memory is fuzzy, but very positive.

This was always my favorite William Sleator book as a kid, and on re-reading I find that it still is. I love how Sleater injects fascinating and weird science into his books -- and also includes a dose of psychology and/or horror. His stories stick with you.This is the story of teenage twin boys who are checking out a house that the family inherited after the death of a distant uncle. The boys quickly discover something weird about the playhouse out back, where time runs differently than

I have been complaining a lot lately about the young adult authors of the '80s that I somehow missed out on, but William Sleator thankfully wasn't one of them. Interstellar Pig, which I discovered in fourth or fifth grade, is probably the first sci-fi book I ever read. I picked up Among the Dolls around the same time without knowing who wrote it and spent 1999 - 2009 trying to piece together my hazy memories to figure out who was responsible for the terrifying dolls that haunt my dreams (thanks
