time travel in a garden

this is a wonderful story about a practical girl in an unrealistic, but very real, time travel adventure. the reader can make guesses throughout the book, but the author does include surprises in the last chapters that make you wish the book didn't end.

Nostalgic Indulgence

I remember picking this book up in a public library when I was about 10 years old as one of the books listed on my summer reading list. At the time, I put off reading the book because it seemed to be just a story about a young girl's summer experience. The title ("...and TIME") should have tipped me off that something unexpected would occur. This is the book that made me into a voracious fantasy/science fiction reader. I recently bought a copy of the book to read again and while it must be admitted that the writing pales when compared to another favorite, Sabriel (also written for children/young adults), I still found myself interested in revisiting the twists and turns of the story. I would definitely recommend this book for children as it transforms a seemingly ordinary summer into a surprising adventure outside the realms of the ordinary. Worth the effort to get it.

I remember this well!

I remember loving this book as a girl. It was one of my favorite library finds!I'm looking forward to reading it again, and passing it down to my daughters.
