Sign in for personalised guidanceA lively historical adventure follows Lily as she travels unexpectedly through time while managing friendship drama, a feud, a first crush and the challenge of being separated from home.
Lily navigates her friendship with Poppy, conflict with Georgia and Joseph, and familiar social problems across historical periods.
Lily travels through periods including Victorian times, Roman Britain, the 1920s, 1621 and 1972; the book identifies some details as historically based.
Lily is in love with Ollie and hopes to confess, while he remains unaware of her feelings.
Some situations may merit a little preparation: Lily faces awkward body-related questions, unreturned romantic feelings, social hostility and the greater risk attached to being accused of witchcraft in Jacobean times.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
