...immerses the reader in the early 1900s...really thought provoking for middle-grade readers. My readers were forever exclaiming their excitement for this being a really good example of 'historical fiction'. I would encourage anyone interested in middle-grade fiction, and all primary school teachers, to include this fantastic series in their collection as both a great fictional adventure and an excellent choice for connecting history with reading for pleasure. My book club members and I will certainly be recommending it to all of the children in our school and we will be including extra copies in our school library! - Michelle Gilbert, Primary School Teacher; --- Like the wardrobe entry to Narnia, the time tunnel is for children only. It requires courage and mutual support, values which are crucial to dealing with the problems thrown at the friends. And what problems! Karen Inglis writes books children want to read, in language that they can read by themselves. This is not as easy as it sounds! From crisis to crisis, children save the day while allowing their much-loved adults to remain under the illusion that they are the ones looking after their offspring. - Jean Gill, Award-winning Author of books for YA and Adults; --- A charming, heart-warming and exciting sequel to The Secret Lake. The reader is transported once again to one hundred years ago, accompanying the children in another gripping time travel mystery adventure... offers fascinating glimpses into the past...touching on the laws of the time, political changes and historical events, and creating a tricky moral dilemma for Stella and Tom. I could imagine some great conversations around the family dinner table... - J M Forster, Award-winning Children's Author;
