Cooney, Caroline B. Prisoner of Time
Laurel Leaf 1999 044022019X / 9780440220190 Mass Market Paperback Good Mass Market Paperback
Cover is light green with distant picture of a couple holding hands. Light shelf wear hardly worth mentioning. Just a bit of natural age tanning on otherwise clean pages. From School Library Journal: Grade 6-9AThird in a time-travel series, this story continues the saga of the wealthy Stratton family in the 1890s. Tod Lockwood travels from the 1990s to save 16-year-old Devonny Stratton from an unwanted arranged marriage. He manages to rescue her on her wedding day by bringing her into the 20th century. After spending time with Tod's family, the girl feels called to return to her own time to untangle the problems she has left behind. Subplots involve Devonny's best friend Flossie's plan to elope with an Italian immigrant from the laboring class, and her father's scheme to lock his ex-wife, Devonny's mother, away in an attic room. Meanwhile, Tod and Devonny are falling in love. This tale, like its companions, is pure melodrama. Its characters are more types than fully fleshed-out individuals. Plot contrivances are numerous. Why, for instance, does Tod's mother so readily accept Devonny as a foreign exchange student from England? And would Devonny's disappearance cause a complete change of heart in her obnoxious intended husband? The book presents a very oversimplified view of the mores and morals of the wealthy class of the day. It is fun, however, to observe the reactions of the time-traveling teens to ages very different from their own. The story is not as well written as Cooney's Driver's Ed (Delacorte, 1994) or The Face on the Milk Carton (Dell, 1991) and its sequels, but adolescents are sure to enjoy the drama and romance. Prisoner belongs in collections where Both Sides of Time (1995) and Out of Time (1996, both Delacorte) are popular.ABruce Anne Shook, Mendenhall Middle School, Greensboro NOTE: Publisher overstock books may have a remainder mark.

Although the social worker says her request is inappropriate, Matt, a high school student who lives in the same foster home and works in the restaurant, hangs the bell on the tree. Liz, Matt's classmate, is upset when her uncaring father reads the wish, calls it ridiculous, and tears up the bell.
