A mysterious box has been in Jack’s family for hundreds of
years. One morning, Jack discovers
a letter on a roll of parchment inside the box begging him for help. The letter is marked 1483. A stranger
arrives and gives Jack a metal wheel which unlocks the box’s power to transport
Jack in time to the Tower of London.
This second book from Simon Rose, author of The Alchemist’s
Portrait, is well-researched and strongly set in medieval London. Jack is a brave, quick-witted, and
likeable main character. Short chapters
and lots of action make this a great choice for reluctant, middle-grade
readers.
