I had a little trouble connecting withthe story at first - but
it wasn’t long before Jackson captured my interest in the spirits of the unknown.
This is a cleverly written Young Adult story with many techniques of good storytelling. The messages of values are clear and the standards of conduct are main-stream. Yet, the fantasy of time travel is such that you wonder, right up to the last few pages, what will happen.
I’ve sent this on to my 17 yr old Granddaughter, knowing I’ll have to buy the other two books in the “Epic Trilogy”.
Full Disclosure – St. Martins’ Press provided an Advance Readers Edition of this book – with my thanks – but my
reviews are not for sale. You can trust that what I wrote is how I feel about the book.
