The Diamond in the Window, by Jane Langton, is about a brother and a sister who live in the strangest house in their neighborhood. Their parents have died, so they are living with their aunt and uncle. One day, while they are exploring their house, they find two mysterious beds, all made up, in the attic. They seem to be just the right size for two little children just like them…….

When the children ask their aunt what the beds are there for, she tells them the tragic story of their other aunt and uncle, a disappearance, and the love between a man and a woman. That is when the children decide that they want to sleep in the room in the attic. When they are about to go to bed, they discover a strange poem on the window. They then embark on the most exciting and dangerous adventure of their lives to find their missing aunt and uncle, and to bring back the lover of their aunt Lily.

I think girls would like this book more than boys because it has a lot of romance in it, but boys would enjoy all the action in it.
