Story revolves around a girl and her two younger brothers being sent to live with their uncle in Canada in a house that resembles a ship perched at the edge of the sea. The siblings discover in the house a mural that seems to predict the future, a dumbwaiter that enables one of the brothers to travel into the future and a parrot historian who's also a translator.
"Drift House" is Peck's first novel written for children. Previous novels include "Now It's Time to Say Goodbye," "The Law of Enclosures," "Martin and John" and "What We Lost." The New Press published a collection of his book critiques, "Hatchet Jobs," last year.
