WINNETKA, Ill. — On a recent Saturday morning Cami Beghou, 13, pushed the right side of the tall, white bookcase that is built into one of the powder-pink walls in her bedroom. The bookcase, holding rows of books, a stuffed dachshund and a volleyball, silently swung outward, revealing a tiny, well-lighted room. Containing a desk, a chair and a laptop computer, it serves as her study area. Cami, an eighth grader, considers the hidden room the best thing about her family’s five-month-old French colonial-style house in this Chicago suburb. "When I heard that I could have a secret room, it sounded like so much fun," she said, noting that the room initially conjured images of secret passages from Scooby-Doo cartoons. "My parents told me, ‘You could just put curtains over the doorway,’ but that wasn’t nearly as cool." Since March, when the Beghous moved into the house, Cami estimates that she has had 30 friends over.
