The adventurous duo are back again as we see Wren and Rhyllann from 'A Ripple in Time' together again, only this time they're younger!This novel is a prequel in that we see the two characters as teenagers, although you won't need to read this in order to read 'A Ripple in Time, for the story to make sense, they stand alone well.Rhyllann and Wren are cousins and their family situation isn't good, Wren's mother is an animal activist and is in prison and Rhyllann's has run off with a man friend somewhere in Eastern Europe and they are left home alone.  Wren finds a diary with information leading to the whereabouts of the lost King John's treasure and so a chase ensues that involves a policeman and a sinister gang.This is an engaging adventure story with an exciting chase across Bodmin Moor that keeps you turning the pages to find out more.  Everything counts here and so you have to stay tuned in to make sure you don't miss anything.  This is Hughes's second published novel and her theme of the past crossing paths with the present is a theme that is both fascinating and pacey.  Definitely worth a download onto your Kindle.
