Bone Quill by Carole E. Barrowman, John Barrowman

3.0

I had a really hard time getting into the book until about half way through when the characters time travel back to middle-ages Era Mina and the story gets more interesting. There was a lot of jumping around between Matt and Emily's story and Solon's story in the beginning which gets kind of tedious, but ultimately does have a point at the very end. I don't like that the story never really resolves the main conflict in the book. I did like that we FINALLY get to know what happened to the mom. I still don't really like the omnipresent tone of the narrator that gives insight into all characters. It makes the story disjointed. I think the authors should have stuck just to the kid's point of view. I have that complaint about the first book as well. There was some mild swearing but nothing bad. Good school library book.
