A stimulating adventure! Sabine Muir has written a wonderful children?¡¯s story that can be read many, many times. This is a time-travel, Christian fantasy novel that reminds me a little bit of one of my favorite childhood books, ?¡®The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe?¡¯.
Here, the main character, Mathew, is a young boy growing up under difficulties that are quite uncommon from his piers. Mathew?¡¯s father is missing, his mother has begun a new romance and bullying at school weighs heavily upon his young shoulders. Mathew thought he could escape it all during his stay at his Aunt and Uncle?¡¯s tranquil family farm. Unexpectedly, Mathew and his cousins are thrown into an adventure when they accidentally enter a mystery gateway into to a world of Kings, Queens, Castles and ghosts.
Sabine Muir?¡¯s use of factual, historical legendary characters brought the Canmore Dynasty to life - an era that is quickly fading from all memory. The author?¡¯s research and understanding of the historical era is evident in this excellent piece of work. Her fascination with this particular section in time has produced several works of fiction.
?¡®Mathew and the Highland Rescue?¡¯ is only the first in a series of adventure books. A delightful light read for the adventurous and young-of-heart. I look forward to reading her next published work."
