A Question of Time

About the Book

Syd Stowe hated the idea of leaving New York City and her best friend Jill. But when she arrived in that Minnesota town and met Laura, her new best friend, she thought everything would be just fine-until she realized that Laura looked exactly like the wooden doll in the toy shop. And when she noticed that the carved Laura doll was an exact replica of a girl who had lived more than fifty years ago-well, that was even more confusing. As Syd unravels the secret of the carved wooden dolls, she learns about her new town, her family history, and herself.
