About the Book
“No one can mysteriously disappear leaving no trace. It isn’t realistic.”
“You’re right, Emily,” her grandfather said thoughtfully. “It isn’t realistic. However, a good many things happen in this world that are not realistic, things supernatural.”
Emily, Allan, Jill, Joey, and Anna have grown up on their grandfather’s tales of ancestors who mysteriously disappeared from Creighton Hill, the plantation home that has been in their family for centuries. When Grampa’s death forces them to move into Creighton Hill, the truth about the supposed disappearances is the first thing on their minds. Allan, Jill, Joey, and Anna’s, that is. As for Emily, why must they keep at their supernatural hogwash?
Could it be that their family really does just have an unusual history of early deaths? Most people seem to think so. But Grampa’s research has uncovered something different.
When mysterious writing matching descriptions found in ancient accounts begins appearing to the children, they know something’s up. They must find out what really happened to their ancestors, and work together to discover the reason behind the mysterious writings.
Creighton Hill is the first book of the Time Captives trilogy, a tale of faith, family, fantasy, and a fight for truth and freedom.

My Review
I almost never read children's or middle grade fiction, but I've enjoyed Morgan's book, so when I had an opportunity to beta read Creighton Hill, I was very interested. I very much enjoyed it and can't wait to read the next books in the trilogy. I loved how Morgan combined a bit of history with the fantasy, since those are my two favorite genres. I actually enjoyed this story more than The Chronicles of Narnia. *ducks for cover from flying objects and gasps of horror* Seriously though, I recommend Creighton Hill to anyone looking for a good adventure story, especially younger readers. I know I would have loved it as a child.

Thanks for reviewing Creighton Hill! I'm so glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say what intrigues me the most about this story is the whole timetravel/fantasy/history combo. It kind of reminds me (just from what I know of the book) of both the Narnia series and the Dreamhouse Kings series; both of which I Loved!
ReplyDeleteI love that combo too, which is part of why I wrote it that way. :) I haven't read the Dreamhouse Kings series, so I don't know how it compares, but it definitely has Narnian influence. I hope you can read it and that you like it!
DeleteI like that the story has elements of faith and fantasy.
ReplyDelete"What interests you most about Time Captives?"
ReplyDeleteUm...all of it? ;)
Mystery, faith, family, fantasy, and a fight for truth and freedom. and now elves. What's not to like?! :D
Time travel plus fantasy? This sounds amaIng!!
ReplyDeletewhat interests me most about Time Captives?
ReplyDeleteEverything! a Grandpa who just disappears, five kinds trying to find the answers, Mysteries that crossover time. That sound like my kind of book! I just love books with time travel mysteries
what intrigues me in wanting to read this story is that is has mystery in it. I like reading book with some mystery in it like Wayne Thomas Batson's Isle of Swords and Isle of Fire. Also the fact that this book is a tale of faith, family, fantasy, and a fight for truth and freedom make me want to read it all the more.
