Four-star review for Can I Get There By
Candlelight?
A
lovely time travel story for middle grade students and up, this tells the
adventures of a young girl, Gail, who’s living in an old carriage house with
her parents while their new house is being built. One day she rides out on her
horse Candy, short for Candlelight, through the woods and eventually comes out
on the lawn of a mansion of a house where she’s greeted by Hilary, the lonely
resident of the house, whose parents and siblings are in Europe for the summer.
Little by little, Gail suspects she’s gone back in time to when the area was covered
with mansions and girls had tea parties in summerhouses. This book was
published in 1980 and it shows in little and big things, including the absence
of any electronics. Could it have happened today?Four-star review for Can I Get There By
