Product Description
From Booklist
Gr. 4^-6. When her father accepts a one-year position at the University of York, homesick Jess endures the misery of hearing herself labeled the "stuck-up American" in her new school. From this realistic opening, the novel soon plunges into the realm of fantasy. Jess seeks to solve one of the most famous murders in history with help from the victims, whose spirits speak to her from the stained-glass windows that hold them captive. With two newfound English friends, Jess and her brothers discover who really murdered the princes in the Tower, why their spirits rest uneasily, and how to help them find peace. While an element of melodrama detracts from the climax, readers will find the characterizations subtle and satisfying overall. As in her first novel, The Ghost Cadet (1991), Alphin weaves elements of history and fantasy into an entertaining, modern-day adventure story. Carolyn Phelan

Now These Ghosts Are Scary!, May 25 2001
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Tournament of Time (Paperback)
My teacher made us read this in class because we were studying knights and castles and the Middle Ages. But I liked it! Anyway - this book is a SCARY ghost story. I read Ghost Cadet by the same author, and that ghost wasn't scary, so I liked this book better. First the ghosts of the murdered kids get INSIDE Jess and her brothers - then the murderer's ghost starts making mean accidents happen to Jess's family, so she figures out who it is. Then she tries to take the kid ghosts home on Halloween - only Halloween in England isn't trick-or-treating, like it is here. It's called All Hallows Eve. And it's when ghosts RISE UP FROM THE DEAD to fix things. See? I said it was scary! The murderer's ghost rises up and Jess has to beat him before he locks her up inside this STONE TOMB!! If you like to be scared, read this book. And if you like knights in armor, read it too. I wish our teacher had found more scary books like this for us to read in class. Maybe next year!

Good books by Elaine Marie Alphin, Mar 12 2002
By Trey Ward - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Tournament of Time (Paperback)
This book was a great true murder mystery; I had the pleasure of meeting the author as she told about her about her past and how she becomes one with her characters. I really enjoy reading these types of books and wish for more.
