4.0 out of 5 stars I named my first daugher Jessamy after this book...., May 4, 2001

By 

Lisa Rogers (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jessamy (Hardcover)

I read this book from the library at the age of 10 or 11, I am now 39 and I re-read it every year after I actually got/owned the book when I was 19 (I didn't forget about this book all thoughs years). It was the first time-travel book I had ever read. Jessamy, an orphan, that lives between aunts goes from 1967 (I think because that was the copywrite date of the book) back to 1914 and is suddenly a shy, quite Jessamy living with a family as a servants niece. The 1967 Jessamy is not shy or quite and people notice although they don't know why she changes. It is assumed that the 1914 Jessamy goes forward in time although it is not talked much about in the book. (I think that might be a good sequel). There is a mystery and it is solved at the end. My daughter (Jessamy) is now 10. I am going to have her read it this summer. I really enjoyed that book I have read lots of better written books since then but the time-travel and the name Jessamy really held my interest. The ending is very cool and kind of strange.

Hi i'm Jessamy! Lisa Rogers is my mom. she passed away in 2004. I'm 16 now and i have a school project to find the meaning to my name and when i typed it into google it came up with this review. i was in shock to see that my mom had written something. i sat there stareing at her words and cried. i miss her a ton and she was a great mom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jessamy, April 11, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Jessamy (Hardcover)

I am 10 years old and Jessamy by far is the best book I have ever read! I almost feel like I know Jessamy. It all started when my aunt gave me the book just to read, it looked old and beat up. I took the book home with me, read it, and I thought WOW! this is the best book I have ever read! I wish I could read more about Jessamy, I wish it was a series. If Jessamy was a real person, I'd do anything possible to meet her. I rate Jessamy a five-star book!
