What kind of place is this? When Neil's father accepts a caretaker's job at the Wyrd Museum, Neil and his brother have to go live there with him. The museum is owned by three old sisters who talk in circles, mumbling about fate and destiny. And then there are the exhibits, with everything from shrunken heads and mummies to stuffed ravens. The sisters have warned Neil never to enter the room that holds The Separate Collection. Of course, that's just where Neil wants to go. Inside the secret room, he discovers something magical and dangerous -- and his life will never be the same.
