I’ll definitely have to read this one. Thanks for the review.

I read this review wondering at first if it was the book version of the movie made back in the day. I figured out quickly that it wasn’t and was going to stop because the book cover is awful. Then I got to the part where they go back in time and I thought you were using a metaphor. But you weren’t. And now I want to find this book. Hahaha. But yeah, the cover is horrible.

wow – I was confused for a second. I thought I had read this but the story didn’t sound familiar! I had to go look – I read Lost and Found which DID feature a dog. ok, now I have to actually read your review

I think publishers are starting to pull away from covers that pertain to the book and lean solely toward those that they think will sell. Frustrating.

I loved this book too and totally agree about the dog not being a central figure in this story like the dog was in Lost & Found.

Sounds like a good book – right up my alley. I can see what you mean about the cover. In fact, I expected it to be about a dog when I first glanced at the cover picture you posted.

I love books about time travel and have read nothing but good reviews about this book. I’m definitely adding it to my TBR list!

I love how your enthusiasm comes out in your review! I have to admit, I would read this based on your review alone! Thanks for being on this tour!

I read this book as well and while I don’t really have an issue with the dog on the cover, I had an issue with the girl holding the dog. The girl looks way too modern to be in the 1800’s and way too young to be Anna. I don’t think the cover accurately depicted what is in this book.

Yours is the first review of this book that actually made me want to read it! It will be interesting to see if later editions have better thought-out covers. (I always get a bit peeved when they don’t match the story, too).
