In this new adventure with Tess and Max, internationally best-selling author Amy Ephron takes listeners to London at Christmastime, where a new fantastical journey awaits.

It's Christmas break, and Tess and Max are in London, staying at the posh Sanborn House with their aunt Evie. As they wait for their parents to arrive, there is an unusual snowstorm that makes the city seem as if it's caught in a snow globe. Perfect weather for an adventure in Hyde Park. But when Max, Tess, and Aunt Evie leave to search for a cab, they find a horse and carriage and driver curiously waiting for them at the curb. And that's just the beginning....

Soon, Tess is charmed by a mysterious boy named Colin who lives at the hotel all year round - on the eighth floor. But Max is sure the elevator only had seven floors the day before. And how come everyone at the hotel seems to ignore Colin? Things seem to get stranger and stranger. There's a 1920s costume party in Colin's parents' apartment. A marble that seems to be more than it appears. And a shadow that passes mysteriously by Tess and Max's hotel window.

Tess wants to figure out what's going on but finds only more questions: Is it just a coincidence that Colin's last name is Sanborn, the same as the hotel? Why does the cat's-eye marble look eerily similar to the crystal at the top of their hotel room key? And, most importantly, what happened in that hotel one Christmas long, long ago?

In this mysterious story sprinkled with holiday enchantment, Amy Ephron transports listeners into the magic of London at wintertime, where it's just possible that what seems imaginary is real and your wishes might come true.

Praise for The Other Side of the Wall:

“Ephron renders this magical world with such assertive beauty that readers of all ages, who are fortunate enough to believe in the power of magic, will enjoy immersing themselves in the roller-coaster fun of these stories, and come to trust, even if for a short time, that in this ‘alternate universe’ it is possible for us to come together and ‘touch the sky.’” (Jewish Journal)
