OLDER FICTION
Gier, Kerstin

Ruby Red

(3) YA Translated by Anthea Bell. When "ordinary" Gwyneth (instead of well-prepared cousin Charlotte) unexpectedly inherits her family's time-travel gene, much adventure ensues. The story flies by, complete with mysterious societies, ghosts, stolen chronographs, sinister villains, romantic entanglements, and many costume changes. The pace never flags, and Gwen's narration is consistently engaging and often funny in this readable novel, first in a projected trilogy.
