Time out of Time: Book Two: The Telling Stone - Hardcover

"This intelligent, engaging series is highly recommended for middle-grade and teen readers, who will eagerly look forward to the next installment."--Morgan Brickey"VOYA" (02/01/2015) "The overlap of mythical and present is nicely realized, with adults especially not what they seem, whether representative of good or evil. [R]eaders...will be looking for the next in the series."-- (03/01/2015) "A code embedded in an old map adds an interesting element and gives readers a chance to play along, while the enticing cover is sure to beckon kids in."--Booklist

In book two, the excitement and mystery continue as Timothy, his sister, Sarah and their friend Jessica journey from America to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they seek the Four Treasures, especially the Telling Stone. They must keep the treasures from falling into the hands of Balor, who can use them to deprive the world of good. The children pass through Time out of Time as they undertake their quest and encounter a number of mythic and folkloric characters, including the Tuatha De Danann, Gwydon, Cerridwyn, and others. In this book, a code hidden in a map is the key to finding the Stone, and readers work alongside Timothy, Sarah, and Jessica to decode the message. Along with the code, the book includes a glossary of the many historical, literary, and folkloric references mentioned in both volumes.
