Rating: 5 out of 5

Julies Hughes writes action/adventure scenes so exciting you can't get your eyes to move fast enough down the page in A RAUCOUS TIME.Two cousins set out to find a treasure lost for centuries. Wren Penderson discovers the secret in a diary written in Welsh. He steals the book from an old man. His crime results in the old man's death, his grandmother being beaten, and his cousin, Rhyllann Jones, having to make some adult size decisions against the world of international crime.Detective Inspector Crombie knows about the treasure and realizes that the boys have an agenda of their own. But trust is a fragile thing and each person has a different agenda. Wren will not tell even Rhyllann all he knows and most certainlly he will not tell the police. Adults including their own parents have seldom given either boy anything, but pain.A RAUCOUS TIME is a must read with small dips into time travel and dreams. Just enough to make the characters and story line fascinatingly believable. I look forward to reading A RIPPLE IN TIME and AN EXPLOSIVE TIME, which are the second and third sections of the trilogy.Nash Black, author of SANDPRINTS OF DEATH.
