Mettlesome Rose will have good use for her independent upbringing she'll lose-and regain-Susan's friendship the two will travel picaresquely to New York and Washington in search of the injured Will. whose decision to join Abe Lincoln's army (historically, like other Ontarians) sets in train the book's second, far superior sequence of developments. Morrisay, hired girl Susan, and Susan's (previously unseen) friend Will. For Rose, unaccustomed to everyday give-and-take, nothing in fact goes well-and she gladly passes through Aunt Nan's root cellar into the Civil War period of Mrs. Morrisay, who seems to know Rose (""I see you come back""), and a girl glimpsed tidying an old-fashioned room that's ordinarily the twins'. She's further disconcerted by two inexplicable personages: tiny, ancient Mrs. Even before she meets them, Rose is appalled by the ramshackle old house they've recently moved into. Rose Larkin, ""a stiff, self-possessed"" twelve-year-old raised in hotels by her ""austere,"" world-traveling businesswoman grandmother, finds herself, after her grandmother's sudden death, at Hawthorn Bay on an island off the Canadian shore of Lake Ontario: she's to live with the unknown, messy, rambunctious Henrys-Aunt Nan (sister of her long-dead father), Uncle Bob, big cousins George (15) and Sam (14), and six-year-old twins Jimmy and Brian. Elizabeth and Jane both take their turns as viewpoint characters.Time-travel with an unusual, Canadian-American dimension, some sturdy adventures and strong feelings-but also with a flimsy, highly contrived start-up and mostly flash-card characters. The plot develops quickly, taking its twists and turns as the mystery unfolds, leading up to the unforeseen ending. Twin Spell is a children's mystery, which is by turns exciting and scary. And, when they moved to Aunt Alicia's house where the doll "seemed to belong," the twin terrors began. Jane and Elizabeth were almost drawn to the antique store where they bought the old doll.
