The Reader's Window: Staff Pick - The Glass Sentence
http://thereaderswindow.blogspot.com/2015/04/staff-pick-glass-sentence.html
April 1, 2015. Staff Pick - The Glass Sentence. I loved this book. The concept was unique and creative. In 1891, in a world transformed by the Great Disruption - when all of the continents were flung into different time periods, thirteen-year-old Sophia Tims and her friend Theo go in search of Sophia's uncle, Shadrack Elli, Boston's foremost cartologer, who has been kidnapped. I highly recommend this book. If you'd like to check it out, you can find it in our online catalog by clicking here.
