After many years of waiting, Clifton Chase is back on a second time travel adventure. Now, he is tasked to help Robin Hood defeat the terrible Prince John in an archery match that will ultimately decide the fate of the people of Sherwood Forest. I love Robin Hood, and getting to put him and Clifton together was so much fun. This book has much more magic than the first in the series. It was fun to go deeper into the past when the dwarves were teenagers so Clifton could get to know them better ...more
The second adventure of Clifton Chase is every bit asa good as the first amazing adventure. I love how the author weaves real historical figures through those 2 books. In this second book, Clifton’s second adventure takes place in time before his first adventure. That makes for some really interesting twists in the story.
As much as Clifton would like to return to normal, two boys being bullied in his school look an awful lot like the two princes he knew in 1485. The Arrows of Light were stolen from his closet for Prince John of Nottingham, indicating that Clifton is meant to help Robin Hood and the people of Sherwood Forest. He’d rather not go, but Dane was alive at the time, and the temptation to warn him of the future is too much to pass up.

Honestly I'll read anything jaimie writes however I didnt have the pleasure of reading the first book in this series. I was a bit worried to read this one as I figured I may be lost. That was not the case as always jaimie does an amazing job of bringing the story to life an tells a story in a way you always get lost in her books. I picked it up the first time planning on reading a few pages an I read a few chapters.
I highly recommend this book in general an if you love the series you'll absolut ...more

It’s been a little while since I first read about Clifton Chase and his adventures with magical arrows, but I still remember how much fun the concept was– that a boy is transported to a moment in history less commonly visited and has a chance to be a part of critical events. He makes life-changing friendships and learns a lot about courage.
So with all that in mind, I was pretty excited when I heard that Jaimie Engle was planning to release a sequel. She has talked about it as a possibility for y ...more

This book was generously sent to me by the author and I'm grateful to have the opportunity for a new adventure, thank you, Jamie Engle! I love the time travel aspect and how she weaves historical figures and events with modern day. I also love the anti-bully message her books have. I highly recommend this series, it's a delightful and very fun read!!

Clifton Chase on Castle Rock is the second installment in the Clifton Chase series. As much as I loved the first one, Clifton Chase and the Arrow of Light, Castle Rock leaves it in the dust. It is evident that Jaimie Engle has found her voice. It was fun and profound. It is also one of the best ways to have a great discussion about what is going on right now. Just like Arrow of Light tackled bullying, Castle Rock takes on racism in a smart and nonoffensive way. Great art holds a mirror to societ
