Author- Carole Wilkinson
Genre- Fantasy
Theme- Persistence
Target audience- 10+
I chose persistence for the theme because Nic kept trying to time travel even though her friends from the past and her guardians tried to prevent her. Nic kept persisting because she stood for what she thought was right.
I chose 10+ for the target audience because sometimes the sentences/paragraphs were wordy but most of the time it was quite easy to understand if you read it over. Some of the ideas were a bit hard to comprehend e.g the Australian history.
This book is about Nic moving to go live with her grandfather in a nice remote family home but this house has no reception, 30 rooms and 3 dogs. When Nic had nothing to do she went to search for clues about her mother who died the day that Nic was born. When Nic found magical stones to make her go back in time she discovers much more about the deep and dark past.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars because sometimes I felt the main part of the story (time traveling) got pushed away slightly. Sometimes the author would focus too heavily on Nic's school and social life, which is great but I feel that the author ignored the time traveling a bit.
The question of the post is would you like to time travel (it can be future, past or both)? I don't think I would because the author described time traveling as draining. You can also see horrible things, which I wouldn't want to see.
I hope you enjoyed this book review on Inheritence. Love-bookworm blog
