Dead Upon A Time is a mystery book written by Elizabeth Paulson. Published in 2015.
Dead Upon A Time is a book about this girl named Kate Hood based in the medieval times. One day she finds that her grandmother has gone missing. She goes crazy looking for her until she calms down and tries to find a solution. She finds herself crossing paths with her old friend Jake, and even the king! Not only has her grandmother gone missing but so has the Kings daughter Ella. The King has put them in charge of finding Princess Ella. Even though Ellas stepmother would rather have them not. My favorite part of the book would probably have to be when Kate first arrived to her Grandmothers house realizing she was no longer there. She went into the village where no one helped her. There are more kidnappings that have been forgotten about. Who is behind these disappearance? Do they ever get found and brought back home safely? Are they dead? Read to find out. (:
The main character is very brave yet lashes out in fear and worrysome at times. Kate Hood is an orphan but its complicated. She doesnt live with her foster parents anymore. She always ran away from them. Instead she lives with her Grandmother and takes care of her, well before she went missing. Kate was seen as an uncommon girl in school. On page 64 she tries to scare off guards by lying to them that she was an uncommon, “‘You ought to listen you beau,’ Kate dared to ask ‘You don’t believe in the Uncommon?’” Uncommon is what they use as insult, it means witch. Shes more of an outcast. The village hates her and her grandmother. On page 3 it states that “the citizens of Shepherd’s Grove had been only too happy to see Nan put down roots good distance away.” She also has big red curly hair.
I like this book because it’s different. I’m sure there’s probably tons of books with a similar concept in this time era but this one just seems different. The whole plot of the book just interests me. Every chapter or so there’s something new. I’m the type of person who gets bored from a book easily and books like these that keep it exciting are my favorite. The theme of this book I’m guessing is just to be brave and keep what you love close to you. I would definitely recommend Dead Upon A Time to a friend and/or whoever is reading this.
