Dillyn asked:
What year was it when the story was taking place? And what was the phrase that Kat said when she was using the scissors to cut the charms off the kids? I loved the book, i think right now it’s the best book i read. A+100% to you Janet Fox
Hi Dillyn!
I am so happy to hear from you, and delighted that you love THE CHARMED CHILDREN OF ROOKSKILL CASTLE! Here are my answers to your questions:
The story takes place mostly in 1940, but some of the passages from the Lady’s point of view take place over a long period of time – beginning in 1746. That made it hard for me to weave the story together – I had to use a long hallway to make a timeline. (You can make a timeline yourself, using the Educator’s Guide on the website.)
And the phrase that Kat used to cut the charms is “Cut to the chase, or all is waste.”
I hope you’ll look for the next Rookskill Castle book when it comes out next August, called THE ARTIFACT HUNTERS.
Thanks so much for your questions!
