Review Rosemary Rocks Spain: Back to 1975, Book 5 (Hourglass Adventures) / Winslow House:

Every generation in the family has had a Rosemary, and every Rosemary has had a wondrous tenth year with the aid of the family’s magical heirloom hourglass. Now it’s Rosemary Rita’s turn to transform old postcards into passports for adventure. For one year only, she can travel to her far-flung family’s past and actually meet her colorful ancestors. In this adventure, Rosemary Rita, frustrated with all the attention her brother is getting, comes across a postcard that her mother, Leigh, sent to Rosemary Rita’s grandmother, Mimi. In it, Leigh tells of her exciting trip to Madrid in 1975 when she meets teen heartthrob Juan Sarro, the lead singer of the popular band El Fuegos. With a turn of the hourglass, Rosemary Rita transports herself to the middle of an adventure with her mother when she was ten years old! When they discover that Juan Sarro is lip-synching his hit song, the girls begin to wonder what else the Spanish playboy might be covering up. This Hourglass Adventure, like all the others, features a genealogy of Rosemary’s family, an author note providing historical context, and a foreign-language glossary. “Totally teen, totally cool. ” — BookPage.
