The Unseen by Zilpha Keatley Snyder


Someone, or something, is trying to tell Xandra something! Xandra has stumbled across a magical world, which can be traveled to only by a key. For some people, comfort and wonders await them in this world, but for others angry beasts await! Xandra finds a guide to get there, can strange Belinda be her friend, too? Xandra is a girl who has a big wonderful family--too wonderful if you ask her!


Here's the synopsis from the card catalog:

"Feeling angry and out-of-place in her large family, twelve-year-old Xandra finds a magical key to a world of ghostly, sometimes frightening, phantoms that help her see herself and her siblings more clearly. "
