B.A. asks from Sound Beach, NY on September 22, 2009

A Book from My Past

I remember reading this book that my son brought home while in elementary school and he had recently asked me if I remember the book which I did but not the title.

It was about a boy and a girl. They were transported to a medieval times setting .. .they were trying to find their was home. I'm quite certain the title started with an" A" . Please if anyone can help it would sure get my mind off the topic.

Are you talking about Edward Eager's Knight's Castle? He wrote a few time-travel books about a family of kids, and their kids get to be time-traveling cousins.

I was going to ask if it was a Magic Tree House book, but the medieval one is "The Knight at Dawn", which doesn't have the "A"!

If it was on a summer reading list or part of your son's course work you could just call the school...

Woww! I remember a book like that too. I can picture the cover - it had a gray stone wall in it. It's not any that have been mentioned so far. I'll be watching to see the name as well.

I am not sure of the exact title, but this sounds like part of the Magic Tree House series so you may look there to start and see if anything rings a bell.

Sounds like the Magic Tree House Series - I believe the author wrote a book about them in which they went to that time period. Best of Luck!

If its the MagidC tree house series, then the "A" you are thinking of is Jack and "Annie"!

Not A Wrinkle in Time. There is no time travel and nothing medieval. Was the book new at the time you read it or had it been around for a while?
