When Emily first ended up in Alledia, she was around 12 years old and now she's about 14-15. So I guess that each character ages about six months in each book,so by the final book, Emily Hayes would be 16. And as for time, is time the same in Alledia as Earth? Well maybe because in the second book, 'The Stonekeeper's Curse', on page 20 we see a clock hitting 2 o' clock in the afternoon and that's it for time. But is the days, months and weeks different? Like say, does Alledia have 18 months instead of 12? 10 days in a week instead of 7? I don't know anymore, it would be nice to hear everyone else's opinions on this topic. I'm going to go and rest my head, I think I went a little too deep with this topic...
