The Root Cellar | Janet Lunn

1 post | 4 read

It looked like an ordinary root cellar--And if twelve-year-old Rose hadn't been so unhappy in her new home, where she'd been sent to live with unknown relatives, she probably would never have fled down the stairs to the root cellar in the first place. And if she hadn't, she never would have climbed up into another century, the world of the 1860s, and the chaos of Civil War-- Scott Cameron's remarkable illustrations bring the past and a whole cast of delightful characters to life in this magnificent book. From the Hardcover edition.

The Root Cellar | Janet Lunn

pick

Enjoyed this Canadian middle grade timeslip novel from the 1980s.
After her grandmother dies, twice-orphaned Rose is sent to live with her aunt's big family in a ramshackle farmhouse on Lake Ontario. She is miserable until she finds a root cellar and travels back to the days of the US Civil War. What follows is an adventure for Rose that helps her discover where she belongs.
The book earned honours back in the day and I can see why.
