About this audiobook
“Kathryn Lasky’s latest is a sleight-of-hand that will have you clapping your hands. With the brio and big-heart that characterizes all of Lasky’s work, this opening salvo of a new series can be heralded with trumpet fanfares and clouds of rose petals.” —Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked and Egg & Spoon
For fans of the Royal Diaries series and Gail Carson Levine, Newbery Honor-winning author Kathryn Lasky delivers the first enchanting adventure in a compelling new middle grade series about a newly orphaned girl who finds herself time-travelling between the present day and the court of the two most memorable English princesses in history.
Life used to be great for Rose: full of friends, a loving mom, and a growing fashion blog.
But when her mother dies in a car crash, Rose is sent away to live with a strange grandmother she hardly knows and forced to attend a new school where mean girls ridicule her at every turn.
The only place Rose finds refuge is in her grandmother’s greenhouse. But one night she sees a strange light glowing from within it. She goes to investigate...and finds herself transported back five hundred years to Hatfield Palace, where she becomes servant and confidant of the banished princess Elizabeth, daughter of King Henry VIII.
Rose soon discovers something else amazing—a locket with two mysterious images inside it, both clues to her own past. Could the greenhouse portal offer answers to the mysteries of her family...and their secrets?

Reviews for Tangled in Time
39 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing plot! The story explains the clothing laws so you understand the timeline!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The narration was very good, but the book itself was hard to understand. The plot was quite confusing and the ending was fairly disappointing. Will try other books by her and see how they are.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Rose, an avid fashion blogger, goes to live with her ailing grandmother after the death of her mom. While there, she experiences bullying as the new girl in middle school, helps her grandmother in her gardening pursuits and shockingly finds herself being transported back to England to the court of Henry VII. The second book in the series, Tangled in Time 2: The Burning Queen, should be available soon. Can't wait for more fashion and history!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A fun mixture of time travel and historical fiction where bullies are vanquished and true friends are made. I just wish the ending wrapped up more of the loose ends. It felt as if pages were missing.
Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for this DRC.
