Freedom by G. Rosemary Ludlow is the 4th in this series about Susan Sinclair, a feisty 11 year old whose magic crystals draw her into worlds as varied as New York in the 1860’s, Ancient Egypt, medieval Europe in order to rescue, save, and protect, those in danger. In this most recent novel Susan finds herself catapulted into the future, where she must deal with SASSY, a robot. Their growing relationship is both humorous and touching. Susan confronts the death of Alvion, the Keeper of the Crystal of the Outer Regions. She struggles to solve the problem that brought Alvion to the future in the first place and then to discover who killed him. Readers with a love of unusual adventures and vibrant characters, and an exciting plot will enjoy this a fascinating story. Roberta Rich http://robertarich.com/

"Readers familiar with other books in this series will find Freedom an outstanding addition that builds upon Susan's evolutionary process and takes her to the next step. Not only is a whole planet suffering ecological failure, but other worlds are affected. There are new types of intelligent beings who are more human than most people Susan encounters. Fans of the prior series titles are in for a treat with this latest adventure, which touches on choices, right and wrong, and the foundations of positive, resourceful thinking".
