Waterfall

By Lisa Tawn Bergren

Description:

While most American teens would kill for an Italian vacation, the Betarrini sisters have spent every summer of their lives there with their archaeologist parents. And they’re not happy to be back. Stuck on yet another hot, dusty dig, they are bored out of their minds…until they place their hands atop handprints in an ancient tomb and find themselves catapulted into the Fourteenth Century. Gabi emerges in the middle of a dream–or nightmare?–with hot Italian knights in a fierce battle. And so begins her quest to return home…while wondering if she wants to at all.

Book Takeaway:

Total escape/break/vacation read.

Why the author wrote this book:

I'm the mother of two reluctant readers--and it wasn't until I brought home TWILIGHT that they got into a book the way I've ALWAYS been into books. I wanted to write a series for them that would appeal to the same impulses toward action, adventure and romance, but steer them toward what I would deem are great heroes--men our heroines don't secretly fear want to kill them.
