About this series
No one knows what happened to the little Princes of the Tower. That’s what Dane, Paige, and Jack are told when they start working on a medieval documentary for Dane and Paige’s filmmaker father. But then an ancient medallion transports them back to the fifteenth century and gives them a chance to discover the truth about the mysterious disappearance of young King Edward the Fifth and his brother Richard, Duke of York.
But they’d better be careful. The princes are definitely in danger, and the person responsible for their disappearance just might decide that their new friends should disappear as well.
“I liked this book. The history behind the story is fascinating.” ~Marva Dasef, author of the Witches of Galdorheim series.
“With her hands-on approach to history and thorough research of her topic, Ms. Duke makes it easy for youngsters to suspend their disbelief and experience the adventures of three inquisitive children.” ~ Calamity
“The Disappearing Rose is a charming story about children helping children and introduces young students to English History in the most delightful way.” ~ Wendy Laharnar, author of The Unhewn Stone.
“This story is an emotionally satisfying and plausible idea of what might have been. It presents the basic personalities the political context, and points of history in easy-to-understand language, all wrapped up in an engaging story with likable characters.” ~ Lesley McCawley, NSW, Australia
Titles in the series (5)
- The Volcanic Rose
The medallion has found the one it seeks. In Italy to attend a family wedding, Paige, Dane, and Jack’s final time trip takes them to a waiting Varteni, who is living in Herculaneum in the path of an already rumbling Mt. Vesuvius. But getting Varteni and her two young charges to safety is the least of their worries. They’re not the only ones to have finally located her. Their nemesis, Khatcheres, has too, and is preparing to move against her and seize control of Time. To defeat him, the Line of the Restorer must unite and call upon every resource available.
- The Mud Rose
Another journey into the past takes Paige, Dane, and Jack to Victorian London, where they meet two young mudlarks named Hetty and Pip. Even though life is very hard for them, Hetty is leery of seeking help from Dr. Barnardo or other social reformers who might separate her from her little brother. The Time Rose travellers have an idea for getting around that problem, but they’re about to have another. Jack the Ripper’s grisly attacks on women in the East End have the whole city on edge, and the blood splattered man Hetty and Pip happen across late one night doesn’t want witnesses on the loose. “Renee Duke paints a vivid picture of the poverty of the time period. I'm waiting for the 3rd book in the series. Sure I'll like it too." Marva Dasef, author of the Witches of Galdorheim series.
- The Tangled Rose
On Paige, Dane, and Jack’s fourth time trip, the medallion connects them with children living in Pre-WW II Germany. One, Hani, has Down Syndrome. Another, Nicko, is a gypsy. The Time Rose Travellers know the Nazi regime will soon begin persecuting such ‘undesirables’, but keeping Hani and Nicko from becoming victims isn’t going to be easy. Plagued by enemies from their own time, and not even sure who they’re supposed to be helping, they’re meeting with resistance from Nicko, and open hostility from Hani’s sister Marta, an ardent member of the Hitler Youth.
- The Spirit Rose
The discovery of an old book provides more information on the medallion, but Paige and Dane will soon be returning to Canada and know it will be several months before they can make another time trip with their cousin Jack. Then, amidst all the preparations for Grantie Etta’s one hundred and fifth birthday party, strange things start to happen. As a result Jack, too, must go to Canada. Once there, it soon becomes apparent that the only way for the Time Rose Travellers to stop the increasingly distressing alterations to their modern-day lives is to venture far into the Okangan Valley’s past and locate the syilx girl who has the legendary Arcanus Piece.
