For some reason, DOGObooks only lists this book, which is the sequel to the first, Tangled in Time: The Portal. I have not read the sequel yet, but I will be writing my review for the first book here. Okay, so this was an amazing book. It was magical, engaging, and pretty exciting. It was about a girl named Rose who goes to live with her grandmother after her mom dies in a car crash. Every night when she stays in her grandmother's greenhouse to tend to the plants, she gets transferred to medieval England! It's like time is warped and she's living a double life. In this book, she works as a maid for Princess Elizabeth I and searches for her father. The book ends in a cliffhanger, so I recommend buying the sequel along with this book. Normally I don't do that, but since this book was so good, I don't think it will be a waste of money to buy the second one, too!
