From Booklist
In seventeenth-century England, cousins Emilia and Luka travel with their Rom (Gypsy) families to town, where they perform, hoping to earn some money in spite of Baba’s prophetic warning of trouble ahead. True to Baba’s insight, the group is arrested, jailed, and then sentenced to hang by Rom-hating Puritans. Only plucky, devious, intelligent Emilia and Luka escape. Luka is determined to gather their Gypsy relatives across England to lay siege on the prison, and Emilia hopes to find the charms that Baba predicts will string the Rom good fortune back together after years of bad luck. Carefully woven into this exciting adventure story is the fascinating and horrifying recounting of the Puritanical religious fervor that cast a net of persecution over anything or anyone secular, including the joyous, rambling Rom. This chilling period in English history is documented in a final chapter, but it is illuminated as only fiction can through the exciting, mud-splattered, often violent adventures of Emilia and Luka. Grades 6-9. --Frances Bradburn
