Review Quotes:
"The Hourglass Map is thoroughly enjoyable and has all the hallmarks of what constitutes a 'favourite' book - face-paced, suspenseful, evocative of time and place, and exciting. Young adults will enter its world and be delightfully lost and older readers will be the same; all will be appreciative of a tale well told." - Mary Dalmau
