[[Gideon the Cutpurse by Linda Buckley-Archer]] is an equally wonderful time-travel adventure, this time with its junior heroes visiting the eighteenth century. [[Warrior King by Sue Purkiss]] is a straightforward piece of historical fiction about Alfred the Great, while [[Raven: Blood Eye by Giles Kristian]] is a rollicking adventure with Vikings aplenty and set just a little bit earlier. [[The Owl Service by Alan Garner]] is, of course, the classic blend of magic and fantasy.
