A well-wrought plot and strong historic details propel this tale of Romany adventure in Cromwell’s England. Desperate to rescue their family from prison, thirteen-year-old cousins Emilia and Luka traverse Britain, elude pursuers, and become entangled in a Royalist plot, all while gathering traditional charms and procuring aid from other Rom. The setting is well realized, and the protagonists are clever and courageous.
