Praise for

“Barrows conjures up a delightful tale brimming with mystery, magic, and adventure that will surely enchant readers everywhere.” —School Library Journal “Readers will savor the author’s lively observations . . . while the heroine’s adaptability and independent thinking endow her with the appeal of a Ramona Quimby or a Clementine.” —Publishers Weekly “Barrows once again presents utterly real kids. . . . This is pleasing fare that adds a bit of history and a tad of mystery into the mix.” —Booklist “Barrows is particularly deft with characters’ language, effectively distinguishing between the time periods and mirroring the way kids really talk to each other. This is a handy introduction to time travel for a younger set.” —BCCB
