This book totally satisfied my library, history, museum, time travel, mystery, geeky side of me.
Hannah's dad works at a historical mansion and they get to love there. Hannah loves it and knows all about it especially the mysterious, unsolved art heist from the early 1900s. So when she accidentally switches places with the subject of that painting she is thrilled. Now maybe she can solve the mystery and find out more about the time period.
Maggie is a little more hesitant about the switch. Life is so different for girls in the present than it was for her in the early 1900s.
As the days go on Hannah and Maggie work together along with friends to solve the hundred year old mystery.
Like I said - mystery, history, and time travel. My only quibble was that it was a bit long. The format of the story - alternating chapters with Hannah and Maggie - meant equal time spent with each. Hannah's story was more central to the mystery and the solving of it. Maggie's side did not really have much influence until later in the book so some of her earlier chapters involving friends and soccer seemed more of a filler. They did end up influencing how she was motivated to better the lives of girls and women but it didn't move the plot along. Minor quibble though - overall really enjoyed.
