The Hunt for the Seventh

With every step he takes around the carefully manicured grounds of Minerva Hall, Jim is haunted by the ghosts of children, long dead, whom no one else can see. Urging him to “find the Seventh,” the children leave him cryptic clues pointing to a devastating ancient prophecy that only he can stop from being fulfilled.
Jim befriends another boy – Einstein, who lives at the hall. Einstein is autistic and very, very smart. If anyone can help Jim find the Seventh, perhaps he can – Einstein clearly knows more than he is saying. At the same time, the children seem to be leaving Jim some sort of macabre treasure trail.
If Jim doesn’t figure out the clues, innocent people will die. But how can he find the answers while the dangers of the Hall grow ever more threatening? And even if he can, the real question is – is Jim already too late?
