Darrell, 13, haunted by the accident that took her father's life and part of her leg, finds a portal through time and begins to wonder - is it possible to change her own past?
When Darrell Connor arrives at Eagle Glen School for the summer, she doesn't want to be there. She's still bitter and emotionally rung out over the motorcycle accident that killed her father and cost her a leg several years ago. Now, Darrell's mother has dumped her at this place while she jets off to Europe. Yet the unusual school, the passageway through time, and the new-found friends provide her with unexpected opportunities to discover herself as well as adventures she will never forget. This exciting, well-paced story with three-dimensional characters is excellent for any young adult whose imagination is open to life with a touch of mystery and fantasy within a realistic setting. One easily finds oneself asking, "What would I do if I were in Darrell's shoes?"
Outstanding Book!

I'm always thankful when high quality reading is published for teens. My daughter and I both loved Seeds of Time. The writing is excellent, the characters engaging, the plot riviting, and the historical detail, rich. I especially liked how the author was able to seamlessly demonstrate the contrasts between medieval life and modern life through the eyes of her characters. This is not your typical teen-angst fluff. We anxiously await the publication of kc Dyer's next book in the series.
Entertainment mixed with a dash of learning!

How often do you find a book you can't put down? This story will capture your imagination and keep you reading until the very end...and beyond. The story takes place in an unusual school: a place where learning is magic.My son begged to read my copy, and wound up getting his own. He tells all his friends about his new favorite writer. His only disappointment is that he can't transfer to Eagle Glen.
Excellent time travel adventure

I was plunged into this story from the very first page and didn't come up for air until I finished. Good historical research, great pacing, and I love the characters. Will there be a sequel, kc?

This author has a strong voice, an excellent sense of pacing and the courage to tackle some serious issues in her first young adult novel.I'd highly recommend this novel to any young (or even not so young!) adult - and excellent read from beginning to end.
