This fine historical novel is an engaging and spirited sequel which will leave readers wanting more...Highly recommended * Read Plus * Flossie is a delightful character - having a ghost as the main character made the book interesting and she is one of my favourite ghostly characters, because she has so much heart and joy... We got a conclusion that was satisfying and full of heart. I am looking forward to seeing what else Allison Rushby writes for her readers next, because I will be waiting keenly for those next books. * Ashleigh Meikle *
