Eleven-year-old Lily has heard over and over that "girls can do anything boys can do." But sometimes she thinks life seems harder for girls. She is being harassed by a boy at school, and her mother warns her not to ride her bike too far away from home. However, Lily has one advantage that other kids don't -- her flute teacher is a time-traveler. The Moon Over Crete is a fast-paced, inspirational novel about Lily's trip back in time to ancient Crete where, she discovers, women and men were equal. Lily loves this culture so much that she wants to figure out how to warn the Queen that it will soon be attacked by a male-dominated culture.
