The story catches the reader's attenion within the first chapter.
It captures the imagination and tells a very believable tale. The
type of book that you want to read late into the night.

This book, often called a Canadian classic, is now available in a new edition. A gentle love story with a time travel twist, it has been read and enjoyed by all ages. It has been constantly in print for 25 years--a story that transcends decades of readership.


This book is also ideal for Language Arts or Social Studies lessons discussing the BC Gold Rush, Canadian pioneers, the geography of the Interior or as an exciting and original novel for the curious and adventurous young adult reader, this excellent work offers a rare gift for children who want a book that is more than history but no less than fiction.

Praise for Ann Walsh's Your Time, My Time:

"...an affecting story of first love...Ann Walsh has created a credible teenager in Elizabeth and has achieved the 'right' feel in this time-slip mystery-romance. Junior high girls will love it. The best Canadian children's book of 1984!" - Emergency Librarian

"...a story the reader won't want to put down...realistic and something with which many young people can identify. The characters are well-rounded and believable. This story will appeal to the teen-age reader." - BCTLA Review

"Whether one calls it a historical novel in disguise or a time-travel fantasy, this is a teen-age romance with a difference. A most welcome Canadian antidote to the proliferating series romances. Hope for more from this author." - Canadian Materials

"...a refreshing look at first love involving teenagers who must cope with restrictions imposed by concerned parents." - Calgary Herald

"Your Time, My Time can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and can be read at several different reading levels." - Williams Lake Tribune

"...an attractive romantic adventure which should prove most appealing to her young adult audience." - The London Free Press

"The author makes Barkerville come alive. The characters are believable and the details historically accurate; it is a very entertaining, thought-provoking book for adolescents." - Canadian Book Review Annual

"Elizabeth is an appealing and sympathetic character with whom young adult readers should easily identify. The plot, which combines elements from historical fiction, sci fi, romance, and the problem novel, is intriguing..."- YA Hotline

This book delighted me as a young reader, and I am reading it again, over 12 years later. By a Canadian author, a story about being young, being adventurous and being in love. Who could ask for more? A must read for everyone
