Subject Matter: earthquakes, triplets, detective, museums
Violet is delicate and plain compared to her two other sisters (the three of them form triplets). She is living in California and there has been a series of earthquakes that have sent terrifying shivers up her body. During each earthquake Violet uncovers a letter written during the time period of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. They are addressed to a girl named "V" and Violet begins to wonder if they are to her, as this girl seems to have the same situations are herself. Finally given confidence in that she has something special that her sisters do not Violet has a brave streak that allows her to try to figure out the mystery of who the letters are to and who they are from. The findings seem to be merely coincidental until Violet finds that they are being put in her path on purpose to warn others that the San Francisco bridge may collapse in the next current earthquake.
Review: An interesting idea that I am sure we all wish would happen to us. That we would find clues from the past that would lead us to save others in the present. Anyone who is interested in mysteries, science fiction or time travel would love this book.
Now You Know: This book is safe for anyone of any age
