A
long-celebrated tradition and an empty time capsule. What could be worse for
the small town of Chepstow?
This
shouldn’t be a big deal for 14-year old Kasey, but yet she can’t help but
wonder what happened to her mother’s letter. Things get even stranger when she
sees an apparition in her camera view finder. What the? Who was this lady?
“This whole
time capsule/historian thing was the weirdest, by far.” (40)
“It is not a
matter of where they are, but when.” (49)
Enchanting
from the start, story was full of mystery and history. There were a few dry
areas here and there, especially as we get knee-deep into the historical facts,
but, overall, this was a well-rounded and thoroughly researched story. Kasey
was a precocious and inquisitive kid—a suitable hero for today’s YA readers. She
was like a combo of Indiana Jones and Marty McFly.
Audiences
will cheer on as the heroes trek through clues and “voyage” through time to
find the missing memory box.
History,
conspiracies, time warps, and ghosts—that’s what you’ll get in this compelling,
clever, little tale.
My rating: 4 stars
