The Executioner's Daughter, Jane Hardstaff

This book is historical fiction with fantasy intertwined as superstition. The time and place is Tudor England, with Anne Boleyn making an appearance. Moss is the 12 year old daughter of the executioner in the Tower of London, she has the job of catching the heads in a basket, a job she detests. Moss wants out of the job and the Tower, but her father tells her she cannot leave. Then she learns that her father has lied to her. Her search for the truth and freedom begins when she finds a tunnel that leads to the banks of the river Thames. As she travels along the Thames she meets some very interesting characters and finds out about what is important about her past and makes decisions about her future. This is a great finding oneself/coming of age story with a great look into what it was like for people in the time of the tudors.
Rating 6.5/10

Sorrowline, Neil Bushnell

I have just finished reading 'Sorrowline' by a mystery/thriller about a boy Jack Morrow who can travel through time by traveling along the sorrowlines created when someone dies. He uses gravestones to go back to the day they died. The first one he uses is his mothers and he meets his Grandfather -Davey. Jack's ability leads others to want to stop him or to use him. I give it a 3.5/5. (I'm looking forward to the sequel 'Timesmith'.)
