A missing painting,
a mystic mirror,
two tweens in a time-swap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the first day of 2019’s April AtoZ Challenge<\/a>! (you can sign up your blog to participate until 5 April)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lovely Newport mansion was Maggie’s summer residence in early 1900s, Hannah’s home today (Dad is The Elms<\/a>‘ full-time caretaker), and both are intrigued by the disappearance of Maggie’s portrait, painted by Mary Cassatt<\/a> who would later gain great fame as an artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were suddenly flipped into another time, would you have enough background knowledge to cope?

My book talk<\/strong>: Stepping through a mirror, Hannah and Maggie switch centuries in the Rhode Island mansion that both call home, and the twelve year olds take advantage of this miracle to solve a mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swept back in time, Hannah is determined to discover who stole Maggie’s portrait just before it was unveiled in 1905.
\nWhooshed into today, Maggie will make the most of running and pizza and Hannah’s other freedoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The girls talk to each other through the mirror as often as they can – how long will this amazing time travel last?
\nHow can Hannah discover who stole the painting when Maggie’s aunt insists on ladylike behavior?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternating chapters spin the twin timeline stories as Hannah copes with corsets and treating servants like servants, Maggie finds soccer to be harder than it looks and talking to a boy (unchaperoned!) even more difficult, and the hours before the painting’s unveiling quickly tick by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
