Random selection of a children's book, after recognising the cover from an old 80s television series. Could have saved myself the effort and checked that I was thinking of the same show on YouTube, but hey - only took a couple of hours to read! Quite an eerie concept, sort of The Turn of the Screw via time travel, and very well told. Could have found a better name than Minty Cane for the heroine of the tale, however! ( )

MInty is which,or something special and she know it.
Oneday she spoke the word "moondial" ,she leaped time and arrived past.
And she met some people there...

This story is not interesting for me.
It is difficult to understand what the characters want to do.
So I'm hard while reading. ( )

Minty is a girl,the main character in this story.In the first of this story,she felt cold air.After that,she met an old man and Tom and many mystery children,called devil's child.Then,the story reach ending.
I did't feel thrill.This book'main story is Minty's thrill story,but into that,Minty and her mother's story.This is warmhearted story. ( )

Minty is a girl who has something special, and therefore she was involved in a very strange happening. The sundial gave her some chances to trip to the past world, and there she met two children, Tom and Salah. They two ( especially Salah ) were so poor children that Minty made up her mind to help them. In this way, her adventure began.
I was very attracted to the setting that sundial is a door to the another world. When I was a child, I often imagined the mysterious world hidden in the mirror or the cupboard. This story reminded me of such an old memory. So, after reading this, I came to look back when I felt something "cool" in my cheeks. ( )

Minty has a sixth sence;she can feel something invisible.
One day,she is made time jumps to the world of a handred years ago by a moondial.
She meet a boy,whose name is Tom,and a girl,whose name is Sarah,both of them lives in different time.
What is her experience...?

This story has many mystery.
I can't understand what is an old man,whose name is Mr.World,like yet.
I like a fantasy and so I like this book.
I want to travel through time,too! ( )
