Review
The adult themes of death, illness and fear of an “outsider” parent and a new baby will all resonate even with adults and will show child readers the importance and benefit of considering someone else’s point of view. The locations are vividly described by the author, and it is easy to be transported to the past with all its charm – and also all its danger. The Girl in the Attic is a compelling, human read with three dimensional characters and enough charm and tension to keep readers entertained. ~ CM Canadian Review of Materials

Uncommon elements give this time-travel novel a charming spin. Kirkus Reviews
Maddy Rose lives in two worlds.
In the same strange house built as an octagon. When a mysterious black cat leads her into its unknown attic, she meets Clare and his very sick sister Eva.
A hundred years apart.
Together Maddy and Clare jump into a money-making scheme in his uncle's dangerous soap factory to buy a cure for Eva. But an unexpected tragedy befalls them.
And then Maddy is pulled back into her own time to confront the premature birth of her own sister. Will Maddy be able to deal with hardships of two lives?
Will the skills she learned in the past help her solve the problems of the present?
Can the strange shape of the house make a difference? As the Girl from the Attic, Maddy must rise to the challenges of both worlds in order to find her own place in the life of the octagon.
