The Root Cellar - Puffin Books
Author: Janet Lunn
It looked like an ordinary root cellar--And if twelve-year-old Rose hadn't been so unhappy in her new home, where she'd been sent to live with unknown relatives, she probably would never have fled down the stairs to the root cellar in the first place.

Some books are so good that when I discover them I wonder why no one else has written about them. This was one of them.

It's the story of a twelve-year-old girl whose parents died, who lived with her grandmother who dies and is put into the home of her father's sister in Canada. The transition is difficult for Rose. She finds the new life beyond anything she dreamed. She had been living with her grandmother in hotels, traveling and eating out for most of her meals. Suddenly, she is one in a family of several, unwanted and resentful. Through time travel she finds who she is and a way into her new family. It's a good, good read.
