Publisher's Note
Prisoner of Time, the companion to Both Sides of Time and Out of Time, completes the "Time-Travel Trilogy" by best-selling author Caroline B. Cooney.In this romantic time-travel adventure, Devonny Stratton finds herself trapped in an engagement to a stuffy English lord and laced up by corset strings. When she is threatened by blackmail over her brother Strat, she calls out across time to him. But instead of reaching Strat in the twentieth century, Annie Lockwood's brother Tod is summoned through the years to bring Devonny back to the modern age. Will the twentieth century give her the power to change her fate, or will the Victorian age defeat her quest?
This romantic time-travel companion to "Both Sides of Time" and "Out of Time" completes Cooney's "Time-Travel Trilogy". A young Victorian woman, doomed to marry a stuffy English lord, is brought into modern times by her time-traveling brother.

Industry reviews
Gr 6-9 Third in a time-travel series, this story continues the saga of the wealthy Stratton family in the 1890s. Tod Lockwood travels from the 1990s to save 16-year-old Devonny Stratton from an unwanted arranged marriage. He manages to rescue her on her wedding day by bringing her into the 20th century. After spending time with Tod's family, the girl feels called to return to her own time to untangle the problems she has left behind. Subplots involve Devonny's best friend Flossie's plan to elope with an Italian immigrant from the laboring class, and her father's scheme to lock his ex-wife, Devonny's mother, away in an attic room. Meanwhile, Tod and Devonny are falling in love. This tale, like its companions, is pure melodrama. Its characters are more types than fully fleshed-out individuals. Plot contrivances are numerous. Why, for instance, does Tod's mother so readily accept Devonny as a foreign exchange student from England? And would Devonny's disappearance cause a complete change of heart in her obnoxious intended husband? The book presents a very oversimplified view of the mores and morals of the wealthy class of the day. It is fun, however, to observe the reactions of the time-traveling teens to ages very different from their own. The story is not as well written as Cooney's Driver's Ed (Delacorte, 1994) or The Face on the Milk Carton (Dell, 1991) and its sequels, but adolescents are sure to enjoy the drama and romance. Prisoner belongs in collections where Both Sides of Time (1995) and Out of Time (1996, both Delacorte) are popular. Bruce Anne Shook, Mendenhall Middle School, Greensboro, NC
