Flora Fox Und Das Verflixte Vorgestern (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
"Beswitched," by Kate Saunders, is a wonderfully heartwarming story of time travel, friends and family. When Flora Fox awakens on a strange train, she knows she's not headed to Penrice Hall, the boarding school she was supposed to go to. It's 1935, England, and Flora wants to go home to London with Mum and Dad! Her roommates, Pete, Pogo, and Dulcie, have summoned her, with a magic book formerly owned by the late Miss Peak, first headmistress of St. Winifred's. And she can't go back until she completes the task she has been summoned for...but what is it? Kids and adults alike will love this story, and by the end of the book will call the characters their own. Flora is shuffled off to boarding school against her will when her parents need to go to Italy to care for her grandmother who has fallen and broken her hip. During the train trip, Flora falls asleep, has a strange dream and wakes up in 1935. I assumed for most of the story that Flora had traded places with her grandmother after whom she was named, but that turned out not to be the case.Everybody learns some lessons in getting along, having empathy and compassion for other people and friendship.
