Review: The Sequin Star (Timeslip, #6)
Gaby Meares
Another fabulous time-slip story from the very talented pen of Belinda Murell. She just ticks all the boxes for me: strong female lead character with whom to identify; adventure, history and a touch of (age appropriate) romance. In some ways, I suppose you could say her stories are a bit old fashioned, as they don’t deal with any of the more contemporary issues that are the theme of so many books written for the young adult audience. But I think she does still introduce her readers to worlds that they probably know nothing about; in this novel, the Depression and Circus life. I’m sure I would have loved these books when I was 12ish, and I know they are very popular with the girls at my school, in years 7&8. Highly recommended.
