Bookroo's summary
Polly O'Keefe visits her grandparents, only to be swept 3,000 years into the past through a mysterious time gate. Surrounded by mist and mountains, she encounters spear-wielding strangers who believe in human sacrifice. As the time gate threatens to close, Polly must navigate this ancient world and find a way back to her own time. Will she unravel the mystery of her journey, or become trapped in a dangerous past forever? The stakes are high, and time is running out in this thrilling adventure.
From the publisher
A flash of lightning, quivering ground, and, instead of her grandparents’ farm, Polly sees mist and jagged mountains – and coming toward her, a group of young men carrying spears.Why has a time gate opened and dropped Polly into a world that existed 3,000 years ago? Will she be able to get back to the present before the time gate closes – and leaves her to face a group of people who believe in human sacrifice?
