Thirteen-year-old Rowan is helping her older sister Ash paint her bedroom when she discovers a mysterious ring that transports them both back in time to 1999. To a party being held in the very same house!
While Ash dances, Rowan unwittingly disrupts the laws of time, and when she wakes up back in the present day, her sister is missing, and - even worse - everyone in their family seems to be forgetting she ever existed.
With the help of her magical neighbour Verity, Rowan must find the courage to travel back through the history of the house. But can she find everything she needs to rescue Ash before her sister disappears forever?
A warm and beautifully told time-slip novel, brimming with secrets, gentle magic and the strong bonds of family, from one of Australia best-loved children's book authors.
Review
Athina Clarke
When she helps her sister, Ash, paint her bedroom, Rowan finds a mysterious ring that transports them back in time to a party held in their home in 1999. Both sisters are intrigued and excited at this turn of events, but Rowan unintentionally disrupts the timeline and, on her return, finds her sister no longer exists in the present. Rowan enlists the help of her mother’s best friend and neighbour, the enigmatic and magical Verity, to repair the timeline and rescue Ash in a race against (and across) time.
Rowan’s adventures at significant moments in the 1970s, 1940s and 1900s yield important personal and historical discoveries: family secrets are exposed, critical events explored. But will Rowan’s tenacity and persistence be enough to recover her sister before she is erased from both time and memory forever?
Award-winning Kate Constable’s latest novel, Tumbleglass, is a captivating time-slip adventure I inhaled in one sitting! It’s a beautifully imagined, multifaceted novel that readers aged 9+ will love. Highly recommended.
