A heart warming read for everyone., 28 Jan 2005

By	C. Meador (OH, USA) - See all my reviews

Her imagery is excellent, set in 2005 as three children are transported to 11th century. Her factual information not only teaches, it entertains as well. The plot expands as the lead character Matthew finds the two things most dear to his heart then transported back to current times. This novel will delight, surprise, and captivate all readers.

'Spy a Good Book' Competition Winner, 28 Sep 2005

Dear Ailsa,

I have just read 'Matthew and the Highland Rescue' by Sabine Muir.
I think you would enjoy this book because it will bring back memories of Ballater to you. Do you remember Sabine who works in our library? Well, she is the author.
It is a wonderful story about a boy called Matthew who comes up from London to Deeside to spend a holiday with his cousin, Rory.
Rory's dad takes them on a fishing trip to Loch Kinord and tells them a story about the Island in the Loch.
Next morning, Matthew, Rory and his sister, Morag, cross over to the island and are transported back in time to the 11th century.
They meet Queen Margaret and her husband, King Malcolm III and learn about life back then.
You will really love this book but I hope it will not make you too homesick especially when you read about Ballater School and the Braemar Gathering.
I think your Mum and Dad will enjoy it too.
Lots of love,
Elizabeth. X

P.S. Please let me know what you think of the book.
