Penelope’s time slips take her to the days of Mary, Queen of Scots, where she forms deep bonds with people long gone, capturing the same blend of longing and discovery.

The siblings must unravel a haunting mystery while grappling with their own fears and uncertainties, offering a similarly rich exploration of identity and belonging.
If Charlotte’s growing self-awareness during her extraordinary experiences resonated with you, Marianne Dreams will captivate you.

If you were moved by Charlotte’s bittersweet realization of her place in time and her deep connections to others, you’ll find Playing Beatie Bow deeply rewarding.
