Carrie Vaughn lives just down the road from me, and I met her once at a reading. Her voice
captured me, and her stories do too, although this tale—of time traveling thieves, Madeline
and her nemesis Ned, who gain their ability from dancing—did not grab me as much as her
non-time-travel story, “The Librarian’s Daughter.”
With a few measures of dancing, a charge of power crept into Madeline's bones, enough
energy to take her anywhere: London 1590. New York 1950. There was power in dancing.
