Description
Hilary Stone, thirteen years old, isnt interested in the dailies like cleaning her room and
setting the dinner table. Her parents, both busy, high-powered New York attorneys, live
and work on the Upper East Side of New York City. Hilary and her mother do not agree. Hilary
loves to read, is fascinated by prehistory and her mother wishes she were more interested in clothes,
make-up and boys like other tween girls.
Hilary pays a number of visits to the Museum of Natural History to pursue her interest in prehistory.
While there, staring at the skulls of Australopithecus, Peking Sinanthropus, Neanderthal and Cro-
Magnon men, she is suddenly transported back in time to these ancient civilizations.
During these astral projections, she experiences what life was really like for these prehistoric peoples.
Each time she is drawn into fl ames in the eye sockets of the skulls on display at the museum.
Among Australopithecines, two million years ago, she escapes a fi re; with Peking Sinanthropus,
500,000 years ago, she witnesses a murder; among the Neanderthals, 100,000 years ago, she falls
into an animal trap and with the Cro-Magnons, 30,000 years ago, she watches a cave painting
lesson. Each time Hilary astral projects, she returns to present time. During this time, Hilary meets
Dr. Amaan, an archaeologist at the museum and they become friends. She explains to Hilary that
she has probably astral projected into different prehistoric periods.
Hilarys best friend Karin Wongs brother, Phillip, is interning at the museum with Dr. Amaan.
Hilary and Phillip Wong share their interest in paleontology and archaeology. Together they visit
his French teacher, who knew Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin when he lived and worked in New
York City in the 1950s. Together, they also visit Dr. Amaan at the Anthropology Foundation.
Hilarys parents become concerned about her and she arranges a meeting at the museum with Dr.
Amaan. Her parents bring Dr. Gottsieg, Hilarys counselor, along to help them evaluate
her astral projections.
