Overview

Time travel rule no.1 - No romance! After their Ancient Egyptian trip, 16-year-old Madison and Riley vowed never to time travel again. They'd set the world to rights-just-so that was that. Only back at school, not everything is right. A fellow student is missing. And he's not off sick or on holiday. No-one but Maddy and Riley even remembers his name. To get him back, they must travel to medieval England and repair his family timeline. They plan to find the family, fix the problem and leave-quick and clean. But, as medieval intrigue swirls about them-with murders, a castle siege and a mysterious knight in black bent on revenge-new loyalties draw them into a web of danger. Weapons and armies can change the course of history but Maddy knows matters of the heart can warp the timeline too. She avoids flirty knights and nobles. A relationship based on mutual antagonism seems safe enough--until the hostility ebbs away and a more dangerous emotion creeps in. They meant to tread lightly through time. Instead, they're leaving giant yeti-like footprints behind them, corrupting the time continuum and risking the future with those they love. A high-stakes fast-pace time travel adventure through medieval England.

So, once again Madison and Riley take off to the past to set things in the present day right, have adventures and mishaps and just get out in time to save their lives--or do they? There were enough twists and turns to keep the pages turning and some of the situations and dialogue are laugh-out-loud funny. The setting felt authentic (not like I've been to medieval England but hey...) and the characters they meet there are fabulous. I love the way this author weaves in female empowerment and writes such strong, fun characters. Cheryl, writer This time Madison and Riley travel back to Medieval England, where they have to negotiate more time travel challenges, bearing in mind they have gone back to sort out glitches from their first adventure in Ancient Egypt. There are castles, knights, jousts and fantastic characters with some interesting relationships. You will meet the witty (well he thinks so) Jester, lords, ladies and whole hosts of knights in shining armour. Christine Crawley, history teacher and writer Paulene creates another brilliant world, very different to the last but just as vivid, creative and fun. Look forward to seeing where this series goes next, and where/when the next adventure might take place. Another brilliant read for the YA audience, and beyond. Emma Hardy, book reviewer This book is like a modern day Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court. The only difference is instead of A Connecticut Yankee from the United States it's two teenagers from Australia Madison and Riley. I was hooked in right away by the style and writing it has a lovely pacing throughout. Veronica Marshall, writer and book reviewer
