    About this audiobook

    Acclaimed author Maiya Williams has written and produced several children's television programs, including Rugrats and The PJ's. When their mother dies suddenly, 13-year-old Rowan and 11-year-old Nina move in with their aunts. Soon after, Rowan and Nina begin to suspect their aunts possess psychic powers. With friends in tow, the two siblings embark on an adventure through time to discover the origins of their aunts' strange powers. Kevin Free's playful narration perfectly suits this mysterious tale.

    • 2/5
      Children's fiction/time travel adventure. It starts out as a suspense-mystery (are all those people really ghosts at the abandoned hotel?) but quickly turns into another book about time travel; characters find themselves in the middle of the French Revolution and must escape from several sticky situations. Reasonably entertaining, but apart from the Xavier's and Xanthe's African-American ethnicity, nothing very remarkable.
    • 4/5
      I liked the fantasy elements brought out in the first chapters: a hotel that slides through time, and a "golden hour" when time stands still. Once we got to 18th century France, I lost interest. But I guess I'm not much of a time travel book buff.
    • 4/5
      After their mother is killed in a car crash, Rowan and his little sister, Nina, are sent to their strange aunt’s home in Maine. There they discover a run-down hotel with a time travel portal.Nicely done, with a tip of the hat to time-traveling books before. Williams gives it a fresh taste and in an interesting time: revolutionary France. I’ll read others by her.
