Was cleaning the attic and found this book of my 32 year old daughters (she was about 10-12 when she owned it) A great story about girls in the late 20th century relating to a girl in the mid-16th century. Jo and Rachel are best friends and they meet Anne who is deaf. An enticing story about friendships, teaching/sharing. I would recommend this book to all young people and adults too.

Worth reading if you like time travel--this one has some elements that make it a little unusual.
