First in a trilogy

In what sense does Shadow in Hawthorn Bay (1986) follow, as we say in the infobox? What makes this the first in a trilogy, as we say at The Hollow Tree (1998)? --whose infobox also notes "Preceded by Shadow on Hawthorne Bay" [sic].

This article makes clear that one major element is timeslip between the 1860s setting for the historical fiction and the present day. But our Hollow Tree article doesn't indicate any timeslip. --Although the titles considered together do hint that the hollow tree like the root cellar may be a portal.

(P.S. Shadow in Hawthorn Bay was the most celebrated if not the most popular. It, or Janet Lunn for that work, won the Canada Council prize for English-language children's book writing (now a Governor General's Award) and both the Canadian Library Association awards for children's and young-adult books.)
