Love this book.<br />Also love how you made a list of time travel books. So interesting.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12323831336953102578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-71725951186859459942013-08-01T18:10:42.596-05:002013-08-01T18:10:42.596-05:00I hope you find your copy!

I was ...WOW, I'm so amazed you found this book! I was HAUNTED by this book when I read it in 4th grade-- for, as you mention, the fact that YOU DON'T FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. It was probably the first book I'd ever read with an ambiguous ending like that. It really freaked me out, and made me think-- like, maybe in real life there ARE things you will never know about what happened to people you knew once, or whatever. <br /><br />I think it's funny that you mention the horse-loving thing. I was one of the few girls in the history of the world who did NOT love horse books, to the point of scorning them. But I was intrigued by the time travel, and the making-friends-across-history (still a fantasy of mine), and so, considering I still remember this book so much over twenty years later, I guess it worked for me anyway!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
