County author Lynne Grist has written a historical fiction aimed at readers in the 8-11 years range. I read this book with two eight-year-old boys, aloud, at bedtime, a few chapters a night. The cliff-hangers at the end of each chapter had them clamoring for more. Bright eyed, they thought through what they’d heard, postulating ideas, and triumphing with an “I knew it” when they’d got the clues right. Time travel doesn’t faze an eight-year-old: of course it’s 1758. Or 1811. Or now.
