About This Book

It all began as a class trip.

Dominic Cantori has a painful secret. He's an orphan, and he doesn't want anyone to know it.

One day, while on a class trip to Ellis Island, a tour guide asks everyone about their families. To avoid answering, Dominic flees from the group and hides in a closet where he falls asleep.

When he wakes up, the museum is deserted. Lonely and afraid, he picks up one display telephone after another and talks to the recorded voices of immigrants who tell about their lives in faraway places. To Dominic's amazement, an old Italian immigrant answers him....And before he knows it, he's transported back in time—to Italy in 1908!
