Muddy footprints on the porch, voices in the night, and a trap door to the attic that closes by itself, convince the five children something is definitely wrong. Are they in danger? they wonder as they try to solve the mystery of the red-brick house.

Now I was more clear-headed ... yet he was still here. I didn?t like him as much.I let my eyes drop closed again. Once I was cured of malaria, I?d be free of him. I had eaten twice today; now, if I slept well, I?d be in sound shape pretty soon.?You know the keilin, Chinaman Jack??That was the Chinese unicorn, a mystical animal whose rare appearances were highly auspicious. In the Cantonese I normally heard, it was pronounced ?keilun.? It wasn?t like European ones, though. This unicorn had the body of a deer, the hooves of a horse, the tail of an ox, and a fleshy horn. I knew that much.?The unicorn?? I opened my eyes and looked at him. As before, the moonlight glowed through his shape.?Ah, you know the keilin. He smiled and nodded thoughtfully. ?The keilin means good things happen. It?s very powerful.?I watched him silently.After a while, he looked into my eyes again. ?Nobody remember me, Jack. Some people remember, some of my frien?. A few of them. Most, nobody remember at all. No children, no relative. You, Jack. You like me. Unless you change.?Yes, I knew that. I had already come to understand that. And I knew that he had come for me, here in the middle of the country, away from his home as longtime Californ?. But I didn?t know why.
