Matthew and Mathilda are the most different twins you may ever meet. Like a lot of siblings, they don’t realize how much they mean to each other until they are separated. In the twin’s case, their parents are splitting them up when they get divorced. When they are confronted with this possibility, Matthew and Mathilda decide to run away to their Uncle Ben’s place.

The catch is that he lives in San Francisco, and whenever they call him, all they get is an answering machine message. With no place to stay, the twins are forced to sleep in the Golden Gate Park with other homeless people.

To make things even worse, there is a murderer on the loose, and Matthew and Mathilda become embroiled in a complex mystery. If you have ever wondered what it might be like to have no home to return to when the night falls, At the Sound of the Beep by Marilyn Sachs will put you in the shoes of two heroes who have lived it. Plus, it’s a good mystery. Check it out!
