Description Magic Tree House meets Hardy Boys. The perfect blend of history and mystery for kids read it as a standalone or with the full series Somethings lurking beneath the famous staircase at The Jefferson, Richmonds historic downtown hotel. Back in 1895, when the hotel opened, real alligators roamed free in the courtyard fountains. That was ages ago ... or was it? When young brothers Sam and Derek arrive at The Jefferson for an elegant wedding weekend with their parents, they love exploring the old hotel.

If theyre not careful, they might become dinner for the hotels most unusual guests.
