TEENS LOVE THIS BOOK ... AND SO DO GRANNIES!By Betty DravisDavid Field, the author, is very talented. Not only is this book alive with a wonderful plot, realistic characters, great dialogue, and

It's all innocent--hand-holding, sly glances, and kisses on the cheek of the opposite sex--is well-written, and absolutely acceptable in a quality book of this nature.Even though it's a fantasy, in writing it, Fields obviously thought things through. His style makes it easy for his readers to accept his perfectly sensible explanations when asking us to believe the impossible. In other words, he has the writing skill to make believers of all of us.My hat's off to this author. I love reading and writing for young people, and he just might be my new mentor!!! At least, his morals are ones I will definitely emulate.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A wonderful adventure!By Bergers Book ReviewsA mixed-up holiday house swap sends Tommy and his family to spend their vacation at a French chateau. But Tommy doesn't end up at just any French chateau - this one has a time portal to the year 1599.Before he's even fully settled in for his vacation, Tommy finds himself four hundred years in the past, wearing uncomfortable clothes, and surrounded by people he doesn't know. Or does he? He's stepped into the life of Thomas de Romolue, and he seems to share the memories of the boy who looks just like him in 1599. And he falls immediately in love with the beautiful girl whose painting graces the walls in the present-day chateau - Eloise de Narbonne.Caught up in this new time period, he must act the part of this other boy, facing the evil churchmen who want to control him and the Romolue family. And his new love is threatened, so he must protect her at all costs. As Tommy and Eloise run from their pursuers, they join up with an unlikely group of characters who help them in their quest to reveal the treachery of the evildoers.In the sequel, Beings in a Dream, they finally figure out how to return to the present day, but Tommy has no idea how difficult the transition will be for Eloise. A modern day priest looks strikingly similar to the priest from 1599, and he's just as evil. Although they thought they had returned to safety, they must protect themselves in the present, just as they did in the past.Finally returning to 1599, Eloise is whisked away by the Count and Countess de Romolue to a safe place, far from Tommy. Now Tommy must find her before they can attempt to capture the evil priest from his brother's protection.The author portrays life in France in 1599 very realistically, even down to the little details like what kind of undergarments people wore, and where one would find a commode.I really enjoyed the light-hearted and sweet romance, and the antics of the unique group that comes to their aid. Tommy's use of his cellular phone, which amazingly enough actually works in 1599, was particularly clever. This is a great adventure, and I look forward to reading the third and final book in this series.Reviewer: Alice BergerBergers Book Reviews Momentous events await fifteen-year-old Tommy when he goes on holiday to a chateau in the south of France near Toulouse. He sees a strange picture of an unknown and beautiful young woman and is magnetically drawn to her image. Suddenly, he's 400 years back in the past, in the France of 1599. In that faraway time he finds the living likeness of the picture in the form of Eloise. They run off for a series of hair-raising adventures together, falling in love in the process. Dynastic struggles, power-hungry bishops, outlaws living in the marshes, demonic caves, murderous clergymen and strolling players form the stock-in-trade of this wonderful historical romance. Its swift action and bubbling humour are matched by the author's canny portrayal of two teenagers meeting across four centuries. And how does Tommy resolve the culture clash? With his mobile phone, of course - another hero of the tale! Read on, and look out for more adventures from the masterful pen of David Field as the story of Tommy and Eloise spills over into the twenty-first century in a volume to follow. David Field lives with his wife and two children in Aarhus, Denmark.
