Xanthe meets Brackston's most famous heroine, Elizabeth Hawksmith from The Witch's Daughter, in this crossover story with all the "historical detail, village charm, and twisty plotting" of the Found Things series (Publishers Weekly). City of Time and Magic sees Xanthe face her greatest challenges yet. She must choose from three treasures that sing to her; a beautiful writing slope, a mourning brooch of heartbreaking detail, and a gorgeous gem-set hat pin. All call her, but…

Xanthe is frantic to find a found item so she can return to the past and find Liam. In the last book, as they were returning to their time, Liam was pulled from her arms and lost in time. Now she must when and where to find Liam. When she goes to an estate sale, three items sing to her but she isn’t sure which item will take her to Liam. Now more than ever she needs the help of her mother and friends.

 

This is the fourth book in the Found Things book series. As with the previous books, the story is well paced, and the characters are well developed. The story is written in the third person point of view. I love everything about this series from the setting to Xanthe’s black London cab car to the description of people and places in the past. If you enjoy Paula’s other books, you certainly will want to read this one.
