Ilustration Conducive To Books Timeless Love
The Magic CharmIt was a lovely silver necklace with a strange antique charm -- an early sixteenth birthday present from her parents. But now Samantha clutched the charm, desperate to disappear when her father discovered she'd wrecked his BMW...."Suddenly she was standing in the bedchamber of Edward VI, the young king of England in 1553....He was her own age -- and cute. Why hadn't she studied her history? Sam only knew that Edward had died at about sixteen -- and she was determined to save him. He seemed to expect her. He called her "my sweet angel." She should have recognized the danger when the scheming Duke of Northumberland tried to come between them. But Edward protected her -- especially as the ailing young king grew healthy, and rumors of marriage began. She thought she was safe -- until a handsome young stranger stole her heart and swept her into the middle of deadly sixteenth-century court intrigue...."Could she ever go home again?

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book. It's so cheesy and so contrived, but I love every minute of it. I've re-read it several times. One of my favorite young adult books.I know I read this years ago, but I don't particularly remember it, which means it was probably just okay.
Yes, this was cheesy and ridiculous, but it was just so fun to read! A modern teenager being sent back to the Tudor times? You know I'm in!I loved the details of King Edward's court life, and especially liked Sam's inner thoughts about the lack of hygiene. Somehow I never think about the fact that these people didn't brush their teeth when I read historical fiction! The entire "what if..." plot was very interesting, and it's fun to speculate what might have been.All in all, it was just a fun,
I admit I was a little let down by the book. It was a little juvenile, and the idea that if Edward VI had lived he would have become such a tyrant that he would have made even his father look meek and mild-mannered doesn't sit right. A bit too fluffy and hurried for my tastes.
While this book kept me entertained virtually throughout the entire plot, and I applaud my friend who recommended it to me, I can't help but feel as though it lacked...something. I would say that I can't put my finger on it, but I can.Everything was done perfectly--the resolution, the changes in the future, the fixing of the changes in the future--but it was the ending where everything Judith O'Brien sewed together so flawlessly unravelled. It just didn't make any sense; there is no way it could
Sixteen-year-old Samantha McKenna has just wrecked her dad's precious new BMW, and she's desperate to escape. Clutching her birthday present, an antique locket, she wishes desperately to escape, and finds herself thrown back in time to England in 1553, to the castle of fifteen-year-old King Edward VI. The sickly Edward thinks Sam is his angel, come to take him to heaven. But with her modern knowledge, Sam brings Edward back from the brink of death. As months go by, Sam begins to adjust to life
One moment Sam is afraid her dad is going to kill her for scratching his BMW than the next moment she is standing in the bedroom of King Edward VI. History comes alive like Sam never imagined. I love time travel romance books and I also love the Tudors. So this book feels like it was written just for me. I absolutely loved it.
