“An enjoyable, compelling read. Much like Caroline B. Cooney’s Both Sides of Time” from the author of Los Gatos Black on Halloween (School Library Journal). “I helped you. Now you help me.” As fourteen-year-old Allison Blair lies comatose in the hospital, she hears in her head the voice of Becky Lee Thompson, pleading for help and pulling Allison back in time to 1906—and into Becky’s body. But why? Is it to prevent Becky’s tragic death, or the death of Joshua, the boy who loves her? Allison must remain in the past—fortified by her own growing feeling for Joshua, and Becky’s will—to make sense of the layers of mystery, blackmail, and mistaken identity so that history will be altered. Becky’s spirit struggles to keep Allison’s body alive. Can Allison save Becky and Joshua and return to her own body before time runs out? “Fans of both mysteries and time-slip stories will like the novel, which is liberally spiced with romance and melodrama, and clarifies a bit of intriguing and tragic California history.”—Booklist

`As a teacher who has specialized in supporting "at risk" students I believe the use of Circle Time can be of help bridge the academic/ral divide. The authors, quite rightly, emphasise the Circle Times in not an advice sympathy or therapy group and they also write "pupils who have a positive view themselves are likely to achieve more, both socially and academically, than those pupils whose self-esteem in low′ - Simon Wheeler, Suffolk LEA Pupil Behaviour Project Officer Teresa Bliss and George Robinson explore the impact that Circle Time can have on the development of social behaviours, ethics and morality. Many new activities are added to the original repertoire. The book includes: " a link between Circle Time and the teaching of the moral and spiritual curriculum " a plan for a terms developmental work " ways in which issues starting outside the circle can be supported within the security of an already established circle group " worksheets to increase the range of activities. This book is the answer to teachers who ask for more ideas to extend the Circle Time programme.

In this compelling time-slip novel, a girl and a boy from the present day are carried through the Circle of Time to the twenty-second century. There they are caught up in the struggle of a peace-loving people trying to protect their simple and humane way of life from the assaults of a barbaric mechanized society who would conquer and enslave them. Through rich layers of time and meaning, Margaret Anderson has woven an intriguing tale in which the present becomes the past and the future is now.
