Trying to figure out the mysterious instructions that keep coming through odd phone calls is even more interesting. Seeing this world through her eyes is interesting. Larissa ends up transported back to the early 1900s, and through other time as well, connected through place. Who is calling her? And how is she making a connection through a phone that isn’t even hooked to an active line? When one of the antique phones rings one day and a young girl tells Larissa that her family needs her help, that she must find the fireflies, she wonders if she’s crazy. With her best friend Shelby Jayne out of town for the summer, she’s left to spend long days working in her family’s antique store (which doubles as their house), reading, and imaging. That hasn’t made it any easier for her to make friends. Larissa was in an accident which left her with a big scar on her face. Larissa and her family have recently moved back to her mother’s hometown. The Time of the Fireflies by Kimberley Griffiths Little is a perfect middle grade novel that incorporates mystery, friendship, and even a little time travel.
