There are a few mild swears in this book, as well as a few fight scenes and vague references to gore. Ruby Red is exciting and has an interesting take on time travel itself. She acts her age (16), but I wasn’t annoyed by her, which is a real compliment to the author. Gwen is spunky and believable as a character. It just wasn’t as important as reading this book.

Oh yeah, she could also travel through time. She could fence and speak several languages and knew everything about everything. Her cousin Charlotte was the extraordinary one. Gwyneth Shepherd has been an ordinary girl her whole life.
