I didn't enjoy this one as much, for some reason. That said, I really appreciate that Williams deals with race head on. I'd probably read more in the series, and I'd certainly recommend them to kids who like historical adventure.
Ah, adventures in ancient Eygpt. I love time traveling kids, and I very much like Williams' kids, for their strengths and their weaknesses. And the sisters! And the strange little town in Maine. I'm really looking forward to the third installment.
Brava! This reminds me most of Connie Willis, albeit for a younger audience.
