I began reading this book a few days ago. I am now about 150 pages in. It is about Chris, Carrie, Cory, and Cathy. Their father dies and they have no money left. The mom writes letters to her EXTREMELY rich mother and father and asks if they can stay with them. She hasn't talked to them in years because she was disowned and written out of the will. They go and live with her parents in hope that she will get written back in the will before her father dies. Meanwhile, her kids must stay locked up in an upper room at all times. Their grandmother enforces some strict rules upon them that they must follow. Their mother keeps telling them they will leave as soon as their grandfather dies and she is written as the person who receives her father's estate. But the children are starting to doubt that they will ever get out of the attic. They have been their for 5 months at this point in the book. The only people they have seen are their siblings (who stay with them in the upper room) and their mother, and their extremely mean grandmother who brings them food for the whole day once a day. I am really enjoying this book!!! :)
