Raves and Reviews
A nostalgic time capsule for the first decade of two successive centuries, The Girl from the Attic is a charming lesson in gratitude and what it means to live in the present.
– Quill & Quire
Uncommon elements give this time-travel novel a charming spin.
– Kirkus Reviews
Highly RecommendedThe adult themes of death, illness and fear of an “outsider” parent and a new baby will all resonate even with adults and will show child readers the importance and benefit of considering someone else's point of view. The locations are vividly described by the author, and it is easy to be transported to the past with all its charm – and also all its danger. The Girl in the Attic is a compelling, human read with three dimensional characters and enough charm and tension to keep readers entertained.
