Scarlett writes her time-warp novels with
a mission to interest readers as she teaches history and geography.
"This book is obviously written by
an author who knows the areas she describes, whether it be the
structure of a Scottish castle, the harbor of Cairo, or the tomb
of King Tut....This is a good book in which young readers can
lose themselves for adventure (and some painless and effortless
learning and enjoyment)."
