I found myself intrigued and captivated

While walking along the coastal beach on holiday with her family, Karen finds an old green bronze mirror. Fascinated with the history of the Roman Empire, she is pulled back in time, through the magic of the mirror, to the age of Roman Britain in A.D. 63 when Nero was Emperor. Karen becomes the property of the state, sold as a slave. The book follows Karen's adventures and misfortunes as she finds herself trapped, and tries to find her way home. Karen is forced to work as a nursemaid to the children of Lady Julia and her husband, the merchant Lucius. She is also forced to attend terrifying Roman games, and, as she finds friends who are Christians, must meet in secret to worship. Along the way, Karen finds love and a special person that helps her find the green bronze mirror again. When Karen returns to her own time, she gets to bring her love with her. I really enjoyed reading "The Green Bronze Mirror", especially the Roman history. I found myself intrigued by the story and anxious to find out what lay ahead for Karen. I`d recommend this book to young adults. The story will keep the reader captivated until the end.

"A MAGICAL, THRILLING, SPECTACULAR ADVENTURE!"

Inspired by historical novels, which was Lynne Ellison's favorite reading material for many years, she created a Masterpiece of historical adventure. This novel fills the pages with fantasy as it takes the reader on an amazing journey, after Karen looks into an ancient mirror that she found buried on the beach, and is transported back in time to the Roman empire. What trials and tribulations must Karen face, during her struggles to return to her own time? I highly recommend this book to all fantasy lovers, children, and young adults. The adventure is breathtaking, the story is spectacular, and the unique characters come to life. The last thing Karen remembered was glancing into the mirror, while daydreaming, what happened to the island, and where did she wind up? How many years did the mirror take her back in time? Who asked Karen if she was a runaway slave, and where did he take her? What was Darvus ordered to do for Karen? Who was Cordella, and what did she give Karen? Where did Karen meet Kleon? Who bought Karen, and where was she going, after the auction? Where did Karen meet Locusta, and how did Locusta hide from the soldiers? Did Locusta's magic help Karen find her way through the dark passages? Does Karen find her way back to where it all began, and is there a happy ending? Find out the answers in this breathtaking adventure as we follow Karen to see if there will be light at the end of the tunnel. "THE GREEN BRONZE MIRROR" is as mysterious as LEFT BEHIND and as captivating as Steven Spielberg's, THE GOONIES.
