After his mom suddenly starts acting old-fashioned, eleven-year-old Conner is transported back to 1926, where he must discover and break the mysterious hold an obsessed artist has on his mom that is trapping her between times. ( )

Not my favorite of Ms Reiss's books but captivating. It had a touch of horror to it that put me off. Overall the story kept me turning pages. A nice bow to the good old days! ( )

This book is about a boy named Connor who travels back in time to save his mother. Has some interesting information about a group of artists known as the magi. It was interesting to read about the models and the antagonist was scary. ( )
