A Ghost Tale for Christmas Time (2010)
““She called that kid Charley Dickens,” he said.
“I heard,” said Annie. “So Charles Dickens must be five or six years old.”
“Oh, man,” said Jack, groaning. “So Merlin wants us to help another little kid, like we helped Wolfie Mozart?”
“Seems like it,” said Annie.
“Wait a minute. That doesn’t make sense. Let’s do the math,” said Jack. “Our book said Charles Dickens was born in 1812.” He pulled out their research book and looked at the first page. “And Queen Victoria became queen in 1837.”
“The dr...iver said she’s been queen for six years …,” said Annie. “So now it’s 1843. Subtract 1812 from 1843.…”
Jack squeezed his eyes shut. “And you get … thirty-one!” he said.
“Good work!” said Annie.
“So Charles Dickens is thirty-one,” said Jack. “And Charley must be Charles Junior.”
“Great,” said Annie. “Let’s go meet Charles Senior.”
Jack put away their book, and he and Annie walked to the front gate. Between the iron bars, they could see a beautiful three-story house with tall windows.MoreLess
