Book description
Charlotte is out in the woods on her own one day when something
mysterious happens - she walks along a row of stones laid like stepping
stones on the forest floor . . . and finds herself in another age. She
has somehow slipped back to 1955, and is now, in the same woods, on the
site of a very unique school, an open-air school for sick city children.
No one believes her tales of the world she's come from, her mobile
doesn't work and she can't see how on earth she's going to get back. A
friendship with another pupil proves the key - is Jack more than he
seems?
ROBERT SWINDELLS left school at fifteen to work on a local newspaper.
At seventeen, he joined the RAF for three years, then trained and
worked as a teacher. Now a full-time writer, he is the author of a
number of bestselling titles for the Random House children's list. In
1994 he won the Carnegie Medal for STONE COLD (Hamish Hamilton), a
teenage novel about a serial killer.
RUBY TANYA won the Salford Children's Book Award 2005.
