Why read it?
1 author picked Harper Wells as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love history and found this to be an engrossing, historically based time-slip novel.
From reading this, I learned about the politician, social reformer, and feminist Edith Cowan. The author has woven a cast of supporting characters to add to the story’s depth.
I particularly love the inclusion of the time-travelling bed, which holds its own secrets. It’s an interesting twist on the usual time-travel methods, and instrumental to the historical fiction story's timeline.
From Debra's list on time-slip adventures for middle graders.
