Description

"I would just have to wait and watch for a sign, a flicker, a whisper of magic, and hope that when it came, I would be ready."Time travel is never simple. At least that's what Katie's previous two experiences have taught her. When magic strikes a third time on Christmas Eve, Katie and her cousin Imogen are hurled back to the sooty streets of Victorian London where secrets lurk in alleyways and mysteries chug from chimney pots. A famous painting has been stolen from St Paul's Cathedral. Cracking the case could lead Katie to solve her biggest mystery of all: the reason for her time-traveling gift and the missing woman who gave it to her. Should the elusive thief get the better of her, Katie too could become lost in Time forever.
