Luke tries to open the door its locked, he smashes his hand into the screen unlocks the door and walks in. he is mesmerized by the fancy furniture he inches around the corner into the computer room but is caught by the girl he saw in the window her name in Jen. She is a third child too and his adventure starts right there in Jens computer room. The purpose of the author was to tell you that you can do anything if you have hope.
The setting of the story is on a farm in a small house surrounded by woods the woods are knocked down by the government to make new houses for the rich. Another setting is Jen’s house it is very exuberant, in fact it is three stories high and is very fancy unlike Luke’s modest home which has had the same furniture for as long as Luke can remember. Jen’s house had a large refrigerator, and computer room which houses Jen’s computer which Jen uses to communicate with other shadow children all over the world. At this time it is the late 1900’s.
