The only reason why I am giving this three stars and not four is that the writing could use a bit more editing. There are no grievous eras or anything, it is just too much tell at points and not enough show.

What Cox has done is present a book that reminded me of Jane Yolen's work. The use of a 13 year old who has her life planned and the disappointments that life brings who is transported back in time is good.

Cox handles complex and possibly triggering plot points well. There are some really good touches, like when Aggie realizes that underwear is not an option. While some people will point out that it is not as graphic as it could or should be, it is graphic enough for a young reader. There are even points where Cox links current work to a form of slavery.
