Another marvelous time slip novel from the UK is EARTHFASTS by William Mayne
(1966). An 18th?ntury drummer boy marches straight out of a mound in the present?y English countryside, having gone underground originally in search of King Arthur's burial place. Two boys are investigating some ancient standing stones that seem to have moved, and are drawn into legend, history and magic.
There's also JEREMY VISICK by David Wiseman, which also deals with ghostly images, this time in Wales. A boy is compelled to explores a forgotten copper mine where a boy his age lost his life a century or so ago.
Another favorite of mine is Belinda Hurmence's A GIRL CALLED BOY, in which an African American 11-year-old girl who's on a family outing steps into 1853, where she's mistaken for a runaway slave.
