Hope Walton discover's her adoptive mother may not be dead after all after she is invited to spend the summer at her Aunt's Scottish estate. Instead Hope discovers that her family is part of a ring of time travelers and she is their last hope to bring her mother back from the time of Queen Eleanor of Aquitane.

This is being billed as a "Outlander" for teens. I disagree with this comparison. Just because a story is set in Scotland and includes time-traveling does not an Outlander make. Nothing much new explored here, and I felt explanations, especially of time traveling, were way to rushed for my personal tastes.

I think teens will enjoy this tale as it is fast-paced, violent, and historically accurate enough to make it interesting. Add in some swoon-y boys and a manic pixie dream girl BFF, and this is a fine start to a trilogy.
