A review by yapha
The Glass Sentence by S.E. Grove

4.0

The Great Disruption of 1799 has changed the course of time. Different continents are in different Ages, and moving between them can be dangerous. Sophia lives with her Uncle Shadrock, the famous cartologer, in Boston in 1891. She has been living with him since her parents left when she was very young, off to help rescue a fellow explorer in an unknown Age. She returns one day to find their house ransacked and Uncle Shadrock missing. He managed to leave her a small note and a cryptic map. This starts her off on an adventure. An excellent book for fans of dystopian worlds and alternate realities. Recommended for grades 5-8.
