A Different Day, A Different Destiny

The Snipesville Chronicles #2

by Annette Laing

When you wake up in the year 1851 on a Scottish hillside...Or in an English coal mine...Or on a plantation in the Deep South, you know you re in for a bad day. Nothing for Hannah and Alex Dias has been normal since they moved from San Francisco to the little town of Snipesville, Georgia. Bad enough that they and their dorky new friend Brandon became reluctant time-travellers to World War Two England. Oh, sure, they made it home safely (just) but now things are about to get worse. Much worse. From the cotton fields of the Slave South to London's glittering Crystal Palace, the kids chase a lost piece of twenty-first century technology in the mid-nineteenth century. But finding it is only the beginning of what they must do to heal Time.

I won this book on Firstreads!

I really enjoyed this fun, quirky book. As someone who thoroughly enjoys historical fiction, I had a feeling this book would be right up my alley, and it was. As someone who has not read the first book in the series "Don't Know Where, Don't Know When", I can say I still enjoyed this book.

Three kids in present day Georgia are unwittingly sent back to 1851. Hannah, the spoiled teenage girl, finds herself in Scotland, and is forced to work in a mill. Alex, Hannah's brother, finds himself in 1851 Georgia, on a plantation and witnessing the evils of slavery first hand. Brandon, their friend, finds himself in Black Country England, where he works in a coal mine. All three are forced to work in atrocious conditions. Hannah begins work in a mill in New Lanark, and is fired after she behaves as any modern teenage girl would- she complains and talks back to her supervisor. She ends up in Dundee, Scotland, where the living conditions are much much worse and she is forced to work in another mill where the supervisor is even more cruel. Hannah is stunned to learn that all kids her age are forced to work to help support their families, while the mill owners get rich off of their hard labor. Alex is forced to get a job on the plantation, and ends up traveling with the plantation owner to London, along with a slave who is Alex's age. Brandon works first in a coal mine, until he secures a job for an undertaker, and then eventually ends up a servant. The kids all end up finding each other in London and finding their way home. All of their stories end up relating to each other and being connected.

Kids today don't know how good they have it. And neither do adults today. In high school I learned all about child labor, child labor laws, and the dreadful working conditions the working class and their children were forced to submit to as the only way to survive. I learned about the Triangle Waist Company factory fire. I know what sweatshops are, and I know why unions were first created and who they originally sought to protect. But this book taught me more about the industrial revolution and life in the 1850s than any AP History class. That is why this book is great- I learned a lot, but hardly even noticed I was learning because the story was so enjoyable.

I enjoyed the character of Hannah the most. As a twenty-something woman, I found her to be a very authentic, believable, spoiled American teenage girl. Her exploits made me laugh out loud at times.

I plan on reading the first book in the series so I can learn about England in 1915 and 1940, which is where (and when) the kids travel to in "Don't Know Where, Don't Know When."

Thanks to Annette Laing and Goodreads.

Hannah, Alex and George are back in a second time-traveling novel for kids, A Different Day, A Different Destiny by Annette Laing. Readers first met the three in Don’t Know Where, Don’t Know When while they traveled from modern-day Snipesville, Georgia, to World War I and World War II England. This time they are headed even further back, to 1851, and all three land in different places.

Alex stays in Georgia, with its slaves, cotton plantations and Savannah businesses. Brandon ends up in a coal mine in northern England and Hannah finds herself working in a cotton factory in a small Scottish town. This story is grittier and more frightening for the characters than the first. Since they travelled to different places, they can’t share their experience and their fears of returning to their normal time with each other.

They are also finding out about the privations suffered by the lower working class people of the time and the hardships of slaves. Food and extra clothing is scarce, as is time off from backbreaking work. As they each find ways to earn their keep, readers get a glimpse of the social conditions of the time when Western society was shifting from mostly agricultural to mainly industrial work. For the workers, it was a time of exploitation in many ways until they were able to earn more rights through labor laws many years later.

While Don’t Know Where, Don’t Know When felt more lighthearted, A Different Day, A Different Destiny has more depth. I felt as though I learned quite a bit about the mid-1800s and what it was like to live then. And I felt the characters, in their second time around with time travel, were more aware of the culture they were temporarily part of. As Hannah, Alex and Brandon travel around and search to find each other as well as figure out what they need to do before they can return home, they learn a lot from being around people with all levels of social standing and they observe expectations people have of members of a certain social class.

Readers will delight in the surprising plot twists that connect this story to the one that came before. And they’ll look forward to seeing how the story unfolds in the next book in the series. I recommend this book and the series to mother-daughter book clubs with girls aged 9 to 12.

-I received this book for free through the First Reads program-

Hannah, Alex and Brandon take another trip through time, and end up scattered around in the nineteenth century; 1851 to be exact. With some rather strange visits from the Professor (or the time-travelling witch as Hannah refers to her) and no mobile phones in sight, the children must learn to adapt to this old way of life if they want any chance of getting home.

I really enjoyed A Different Day, A Different Destiny; I found it was very engaging, and also a lot funnier than I expected it to be. I could identify with the characters (Hannah cracked me up, her rudeness was just so funny! Brandon made me laugh too) and I also thought that Laing explored the the problems of slavery and poverty very well, in a realistic and non sugar-coated way. I particularly liked reading about Alex and Jupe, and the way their friendship developed over the course of the book. Strangely enough, I loved reading about the "baddies" of the book too, the upper-class snobby Mr Thornhill and Lady Chatsfield.

Another thing I enjoyed was the history aspect of the book; I certainly learnt a lot, and everything was explained and set out in a much more interesting way than any old History lesson I've ever been to. I also liked, being British myself, seeing England from the American children's point of view. It made me laugh and love the kids even more.

Overall, I think A Different Day, A Different Destiny is a great read for ages 9-12 (I think I enjoyed it a bit too much, considering my age...) and I would definitely recommend it to readers who enjoy adventure stories and a bit of mystery. I looked forward to reading about what Brandon, Hannah and Alex get up to next!

Special thanks to Goodreads and Annette Laing.

Again, this is a smart, challenging book for children and teens (and adults). Another fine example of thinking literature for children. Books don't have to be dumbed down for children to read them. Challenge them! Inform them! Entertainment them! Provoke and reveal, enrich and enlighten!!! Above all, don't assume children too dumb or too shallow to want more. Great series.

[Annie · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great book, even better than the first, although I'd recommend reading that one before this because it bases heavily on that first volume.

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am enjoying this series! This book places the young teenage heroes (Hannah, Alex, and Brandon) in England in the Industrial Revolution timeframe. Life is bleak unless you are of the "upper crust" of society. But, it isn't all honey and roses for them either--rigidly bound by societal conventions and expectations. The threesome are separated at first, with Alex and Brandon fighting the social evil of slavery, while Hannah finds herself working in fabric mills. There are not many adult characters to unreservedly admire--almost all of them are hiding their true natures in some way. So, it is a relief when the three accomplish their time-travel tasks. But, will they have affected the future in a positive way???

In the first novel, the mysterious Professor Harrow seemed to be able to control some of the events and timing of the youngsters travels, but in this book we see her at more of a loss about what to do when to do it. This forces the children to be more proactive and I think that is a good thing--young readers need to know that they can make decisions to influence their lives' outcomes. At the same time, the results of poor decision-making are abundantly clear which helps the readers understand that a bit of thought and caution before action is advisable. A great life-lesson to absorb. Again, subtle humor shows up (for example, why Charles Burbage might not have built all the machines he designed on paper) and the action keeps the reader's attention.

My one concern is that there are lot of ancestral connections popping up after two books and I think it's somewhat difficult to " keep everyone sorted"! I am off to read Book 3!!

This is the second book in the series. Like the first, it presents historical information in a vivid narrative that makes history come alive. It does not shy from some of the less pleasant aspects of history that tend to get glazed over in literature for children. Those topics such as slavery and mistreatment of workers are handled in such a way as to present the injustices suffered accurately but appropriately for children.

[Lawral]

Laing has done it again! She's managed to cram a whole lot of information into an entertaining story (with a bit of actual danger thrown in this time) and created a dizzying web of characters connected to each other, the characters in the previous book, and Hannah, Brandon, and Alex's present day lives. Some of these connections are pretty obvious (the Gordons that Hannah lives with are the grandparents of Mr. Gordon from the first book and a young girl in Balesworth who is the spitting image of Verity turns out to be her great-grandma), but that certainly didn't detract from their stories. And most of the connections I didn't see coming until the series of big reveals toward the end. I think that's the most amazing thing about these books for me: how some of the details all work out so seamlessly without being so obvious that I figured them out halfway through the book.

Hannah, Brandon, and Alex thought they had things bad in WWII England, but their experiences in the last book are nothing compared to what each of them goes through in 1851. Alone. In 1851, all three of them are considered adults, expected to earn a wage and take care of themselves. They each have to deal with this realization and figure out how to make their own ways and survive before they can even begin to think about how to find each other and get back home. The way that the book shifts between their stories was very clear and easy to follow. And for anyone (like me) for whom the year 1851 doesn't ring a bell, they are doing this all in the midst of preparations for Prince Albert's Great Exhibition and a growing disapproval across England and Scotland of the lingering institution of slavery in America.

Alex, still in Snipesville, comes face to face with slavery. As he travels to Savannah looking for work, he is accompanied by a slave, Jupe, who is about his age. No matter how he tries to treat Jupe as an equal, Jupe never opens up to him or fully trusts him. Alex does manage to keep Jupe with him by lying about who legally owns him, keeping Jupe from being arrested, punished, or sold because he ran away. The situation with Jupe is complicated by the fact that Alex genuinely likes his employer, even though Mr. Thornhill buys and sells slaves in the course of his land sale transactions. The question of how otherwise good people could participate in or even condone slavery is never answered here, which is probably as it should be.

Hannah and Brandon are free from the emotional and intellectual turmoil that Alex must endure in 1851. Instead they're both left in horrible working and conditions by their trip back in time. Brandon "comes to" already in the pitch black dark of a coal mine and eventually makes his way back to Balesworth. On the way he lives in a workhouse, becomes a professional mourner, and is, once again, a novelty to those around him. People assume that Brandon is a former slave, especially after he tells people that he was born in America. Many people, especially the upper class women, want to know Brandon's thoughts on the subject and want to hear all about his experiences. The fact that he has to fabricate these experiences based on what he learned in history classes doesn't seem to bother anyone.

Hannah has the most tumultuous time. She's forced to be a piecer in a mill, first cotton and then jute, and earns pennies a week. She's fired twice and almost starves to death in between. She has a lot to complain about, but what Hannah is the most worried about is her lack of shopping opportunities. Her attitude is, once again, off-putting for most of the book. At some point during her ordeal, it seems like Hannah may be learning something from the life she's living. She makes friends and finds herself in a family; she agitates for workers' rights (to hang out in the park) and gives an upper class woman who lives off mill profits the scare of her life by walking her through a tenement neighborhood. Still, as soon as she is rescued by the Professor and given a fancy dress and a bit of pocket money, all those hard-learned lessons fall right out of her head and she goes shopping.

Even with my disappointment in Hannah's character development, or lack thereof, I really enjoyed A Different Day, A Different Destiny. I also learned a lot about the working class in the British Empire during the Industrial Revolution and British involvement in the American Abolitionist Movement.

I was very fortunate to win a copy of the Goodreads book, A Different Day, A Different Destiny (The Snipesville Chronicles, Book 2).

Although the book quickly drew me in, I think that it would have been an asset to have read Annette Laing's Don't Know Where, Don't Know When (The Snipesville Chronicles, Book 1)as the main characters -- Hannah, Alex, Brandon and The Professor -- referenced their previous experience with time-travel and their acquaintance with characters (or their ancestors) several times throughout this book.

Despite the lack of understanding of these references, I still found the book to be quite an enjoyable read. I believe that both adults and middle-school children will find the situations that the children encounter to be extremely enlightening. So many of today's children have a real sense of entitlement, and to learn that young children of their age laboured under these harsh conditions in 1851 should be a real eye-opener for many.

I found the character of Hannah to be irritating at times -- she seemed to so quickly forget the lessons she had (hopefully)learned about the hardships that children and families faced in Scotland during this time period. For example, ordering a bath to be filled and not caring about the people providing the service seemed insensitive and puzzling after some of the challenges she faced during her jobs in the factories, and after living in the slums of Dundee. Hannah was also in constant conflict with the Professor. I couldn't determine if this was due to something that had happened in the first book, or if she was simply an ungrateful and outspoken teenager. At times her rudeness seemed out-of-place, especially after having been rescued a number of times by The Professor.

Both Alex and Brandon seemed to learn from their experiences and were appropriately reflective about their interactions with people and how what they were doing might change or affect their future outcomes. Although neither of them were happy with suddenly being dropped into 1851, they showed a maturity in attempting to make the best of their situations and learning something from them.

Brandon's obvious discomfort at being the "token spokesperson for black slaves" seemed realistic -- underscoring the long and painful journey that black people in the U.S. have had to endure to finally be able to speak up and get others to recognize that every black person is an individual with a unique history. Although he professed to have little knowledge of slavery, it seemed a bit of a contradition when he was so quickly able to relate to Jupe (who had experienced slavery in Georgia first-hand.)

Alex's character development showed just how much he was conflicted by the actions of his employer, Mr. Thornhill. He knew that Mr. Thornhill owned slaves (and that his wife was opposed to this ownership), and yet Mr. Thornhill also made a decision to allow Jupe to become free (albeit possibly to anger his wife). The commercial aspects of slavery, and the perspectives on slavery expressed by the people in England and those in the U.S. created further tension in Alex's attempts to understand this complicated part of history.

I wasn't clear to me why The Professor's calculator was a part of this story. It also seemed strange that it would end up at the Crystal Palace as part of the Exhibition. I had to assume that the calculator played some role in the first book.

Overall, I felt that A Different Day, A Different Destiny was a great way to expose children (and adults unaware of this history) to an important time in U.S. History (slavery and eventual abolishment), and the Industrial Revolution and the use of child labour in Scotland and England. I would think it would spark enough interest in many children that they would take the initiative to find out more about this time in history for themselves. Adding in the element of time-travel just adds to the excitement and mystery of "what will happen next?".

I look forward to reading Don't Know Where, Don't Know When, and any future installments in the Snipesville Chronicles and appreciate the opportunity to have had the chance to review this book. I shall add it to my bookshelf at school and encourage students to sign it out and enjoy it! Hopefully it will spark some more discussion and curiosity.

In A Different Day A Different Destiny once again Hannah, Alex and Brandon travel back in time. They have just returned from World War II London, now they are each transported to different destinations in the year 1851.

Hannah arrives in Scotland. She quickly finds work at one of the factories in the area. Hannah has not changed from the last book in that she is still very self-centered and angry and opinionated. Her job doesn’t last long in this factory. The hours are long, the work back-breaking and the pay poor. She decides to find work somewhere else. She travels to another part of Scotland and finds the working conditions even worse. She eventually finds her way to the Great Exhibition in London.

Alex finds himself in Georgia. Slavery is a way of life in the South. He meets up with a young slave named Jupiter(Jupe for short). He doesn’t know that Jupe is trying to escape to the North. Alex finds work with Mr. Thornhill, a lawyer in Georgia who soon begins to treat Alex as his own son. Alex is confused by conflicting feelings for Mr. Thornhill. Mr. Thornhill seems to be generous to Alex, but then turns into a sharp cruel man when it comes to slavery and his everyday dealings in business. Alex knows that slavery is wrong but has fleeting thoughts that slaves are treated well and that all the stories of beatings are exagerated. He soon finds out otherwise. He and Mr. Thornhill set sail with Jupiter for the Great Exhibition in London.

Brandon finds himself at the bottom of a coal mine in England’s Black Country. He is determined that he will never go down into the coal mine again. He soon finds himself working for a man in a funeral parlor. When he is fired from that job he is hired by Lady Chatsfield. She is interested in using him to talk to her anti-slavery womens group. She ends up taking he and another boy to the Great Exhibition in London.

Throughout their travels the kids learn about the different areas that they are in and how people lived in the time period that they are in. I really enjoyed this book and am hoping that Dr. Laing is working on the next installment of this fun series.

[Courtney · Rating 4 out of 5]

I will not summarize the plot here, since one is available above.

I received this book as part of a First Reads giveaway. I felt I needed to read the first installment before beginning, and I am very glad I did. While Laing does offer summaries of the events of the first book, knowing the complete story helps to navigate the intricate web of characters that have been created for the series.

Laing is clearly not following a formula for this series, as the set-up for the problem is significantly different than in the first book. However, while the plot is refreshingly new, the delivery is just as satisfying. Just like in "Don't Know When, Don't Know Where," the author is sneakily making the reader learn some history! Once, there is a blatant "go look it up" to one of the characters... I did go look it up.

Towards the end of the book, I finally realized why I enjoy these stories so much, beyond the reasons stated above in in my review of "Don't Know When, Don't Know Where." It reminds me of Quantum Leap, which was one of my favorite shows growing up. I'm glad that the time travel is not explained- it just happens and no one knows why. It makes it seem more believable somehow, and also makes the time travel itself take a backseat to the adventure that the characters have. I am also glad that there is indeed a point to the time travel. It keeps you guessing as to why the kids are where they are and helps the plot move along.

REVIEW
A stuck up girl, a laid back brother, and a dorky friend make for an interesting group of time travelers. I liked that each of the kids had such a unique personality. While Hannah was the main character, Alex and Brandon also had opportunities to tell the story from their point-of-view – especially in the second book of the series.
Everyone knows that I enjoy historical fiction, and this series does a fantastic job of bringing history alive and making it fun. I especially enjoyed the first book and how it portrayed World War Two. I am a bit of war nut! I also liked reading about Hannah’s experiences in the factory in the second book.
These time travelers grabbed my attention and I couldn’t get enough of their adventures. If you are considering trying out historical fiction, you cannot go wrong with The Snipesville Chronicles. I hope there will be a third book set during the times of the Women’s Rights Movement.
Thank you to Annette Laing for providing this series to me to review.

I really enjoy this book I gave it a 4 stars because some part went on a little to longit is about three kids. Hannah a young girl that has a very strong personality trait of being organized. Her laid back brother, Alex, doesn't know how to do anything but play video games and his new friend, Brandon,has a strong willed personality. They are sent back in time to 1851 after the history professor lost a calculator back in time and to teach them some lessons. Hannah is sent to a hillside factory in Scotland that has the very nicest benefits during this time period. She works there until she decides that she is not treated well and moves to a larger city in Scotland.She lives with a family who provides her a place to live. She starts working at the local mill where she finds out how bad factory work and management can be, much worse then she thought. Alex wakes up in the middle of a field in Snipesville county,South Georgia and is found by slaves, Jupiter and his son Jupe who take him in. He starts leaving to go with Jupe, who only wants freedom.On the way they meet a man who offers him a job in Savannah, Georgia. Brandon is sent to the coal mines in Black county,England where he lives and works.

[Becky Mckenzie · Rating 4 out of 5]

A Different Day, A Different Destiny is an engaging and highly readable novel for middle school on up. The three main characters are a white sister, her younger brother, and an African American boy. The three are between 11 years and mid-teens, young enough to be considered children in modern-day Georgia but old enough to be expected to take on adult responsibilities of the year 1851. That's when the three land through mysterious time-travel, one on a small plantation in Georgia, one in the coal mines of northern England, and the third in a Scottish slum. Their quest, of course, is to figure out how to survive, find each other, and return to the twenty-first century.

Dr. Laing's rich and detailed depictions of time and place come from her background as an academic historian and her on-going scrupulous research. While her descriptions are appropriate for a middle school audience, they are also not sanitized nor simplified. Nor, especially important for fiction readers, are they pedantic! I both thoroughly enjoyed this engrossing story (well, except for Hannah, who is quite irritating) AND learned a great deal of history. A nice combination!

[Betty Rooney · Rating 4 out of 5]

I initially struggled with this book, had I read the first book I would have understood why Hannah, Alex and Brandon were time travelling. As I got further into the book I began to enjoy it and liked the characters too, although Hannah appeared to be quite spoilt and impulsive. I was delighted to find that I recognised some of the places visited, I was born in Lanark and have visited New Lanark many times also been to Dundee. Annette Laing has certainly done her research very well, New Lanark is and was just as it was described. This book would be very useful for teaching children/young adults about history without being boring. The places were so well described that, I could imagine being there and experiencing the noise and smells,I enjoyed this book and await further adventures of the "Time Travellers".

[Jennifer Lavoie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book and thought it was a great read. I wish I had read the first book in the series, though, before I had read this one, because I like to read a series in order. However, having said that, I will go back and get the first book because it was something that kept my interest. I think my students will like the book as well, especially those that enjoy historical fiction. I will be getting this series for my classroom. I think my students will be motivated by reading the series to look up some of the information presented to see if it is accurate or not. Finally, I will add that I was very happy to see that the author included the Difference Engine in this novel, as it is something that interested me while reading it in another novel years ago in college.

This is the second book in the Snipesville Chronicles, that wonderful time travel series by Annette Laing. This time Alex, Brandon and Hannah go back to 1851. They end up in three different locations: Georgia, USA, England and Scotland. Some of the time they are very poor and learn how awful life was for the lower classes. They also experience how life is for slaves and the working class.

They meet up with people who are ancestors of people that they met in 1940 and 1915. We don't know the how and why but I am sure that it is all hooked together somehow. So much history in these books! It is great how the story sucks you in and you learn so much as you follow their adventures.

Time-traveling trio back. This time they get separated. One is in GA, one is in England, and one in Scotland. This time they are sent back to the 1850s and are involved with some of the same families they were before. This one is better written than the first one. The kids' dialog has improved. It could be eye-opening for kids who have never known a time without cellphones, microwaves and indoor plumbing.

Wonderful book with a very interesting story. Interesting characters that had definite qualities and personalities. Loved the time travel element and the author definitely spent a lot of time researching the time period and the area's where the characters land. I haven't read the first book- but would now.

Unlike the first book, this one is about a time period I didn't know much about but it was still a lot of fun, and the connections between the two books keeps the students interest.
