Review
This novel provides good insight into life on the home front in Canada during WWI.
"The topic of time travel is explored and done so in a way that is surprisingly satisfying and thoughtful for a youth fiction novel." (Canadian Materials)
"Partly a supernatural mystery, partly a time-travel tale and partly historical fiction, this novel is as much a journey into the past as it is an exploration of loss and grief and what the bonds of true friendship and family really mean. A well-written, moving story..." (Waterloo Region Record)
In her debut novel, librarian Nancy Runstedler uses two fantastical elements ― the occult and time travel ― to lure readers into a narrative that informs as it entertains.

Loved It!
By Stellalunna
** I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review **
Absolutely Brilliant
This is one of those books that I utterly fell in love with! It’s perfect for any tween/young teen reader.
Maggie and her brother have had a really rough year after the unforeseen death of their father. While exploring the attic of their new home they, along with their friend extraordinaire Gillian, have found an Ouija board and decide to have a little fun which causes them to be hurled into an unimaginable expedition.
With careful orchestration Runstedler wrote a fabulous adventure with a side note of history. Entertaining with the likes of time travel (by some pretty original means) it also incorporates some pretty heavy history, such as the internment of individuals with German heritage during WW2 in the US.
The characters are all loveable. Maggie is somewhat motherly and empathetic even though she is still grieving. Gillian is loyal, boy crazy and very supportive of her friends while Cole is good mannered and fun but never with a full stomach. All of them bring their own little pieces of mischief while trying to help their new friend Hope.
This book is broken down into small manageable chapters perfect for bed time reading; however it is hard to put down.
This book is a must read, not only it heart warming but also endearing.

An emotional gem.
By Margaret @ JustOneMoreChapter
Lately I seem to be reading more Young Adult HF, which is what Beautiful Goodbye is. Written by Canadian author Nancy Runstedler, this was released in 2012 - the publisher very gracious provided me with an arc (via Netgalley) for review. My sincere apologies for not reviewing this little gem sooner.
At first I wasn't sure what to expect but it didn't take long to be immersed in this story. There were times I found it to be a little choppy, some scenes not fully developed as it could have been. But aside from that I found this to be an emotional and addictive read. It's relatively short (152 pages) and I could not put it down. The author made me care for Maggie, Cole and Hope, the things they have gone through and what the future holds. The synopsis doesn't give too many details about the book (which I love) so I won't expound on that. It wasn't an easy road they traveled, especially during the early part of WW I, but it was a journey that each of them had to face. The story itself was intriguing and unique.
"Maggie's last thoughts before exhaustion claimed her were that her grief felt like an earthquake. The intial blow devastated everything in it's path. You grouped together, trying to recover and move on, even if it meant you'd lost the things most important to you. But when you least expected it, an after shock would hit. It might be days, it might be months or years. Maggie knew whenever those tremors did hit she would not be alone and she would survive them."

Engaging and Fun
By Trish @ Between My Lines
Ouija Boards, a ghost living in your attic and time travel, oh yes, I was hooked right in. Maggie, her brother Cole and her friend Gillian find a Ouija board and this is the start of an exciting, whirlwind journey that they are thrust into.
This book is aimed at tweens and early teens and is really well done. There is great character development with all 3 discovering about more about themselves through their adventures. They are engaging and fun to be with especially Maggie. And yes I wasn't sure if the Ouija board element would work in a book aimed at such a young audience but while there is lots of action and suspense, its not overly scary or creepy. Not an easily accomplished task so kudos to the author for threading this fine line.
Its a page turner too, every chapter ends on such a dramatic note that you can't stop there! You just have to keep going to see what happens.
"As freaky as it might seem to the others, she was dying to know more. It wasn't like the spirit had been evil. If anything, it was probably just lonely since the house had been empty for a while before they moved in. And Maggie knew loneliness well."
If you are looking for a pressie for a tween or early teen, I'd recommend you go with this one. I think they will thank you for it :)
Thanks to NetGalley and Dundurn publishers for giving me a copy to read in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
