Cute STEM time traveling novel about the twins Leen & Wiki and their adventures at Cosmos Camp that almost turns out to be a whole new life due to the evil machinations of Petty-Grew and the overly ambitious greed of Petey Thunkle. I loved the relationship between the girls and their twin power which took center stage later in the novel.

Loved this from the Ellisons vantage point.  I am interested in what made him touch on the Twins wanting their Individuality?  Many times ppl forget or choose not to see that though they are twins, they have different goals and interests.  

Though they are not in Logan County, the Epic Ellisons are at risk and needed!  Wiki and Leen think they are getting time apart to grow and step into their own, until they aren't. It is a set up from the beginning!  The tasks presented to them must require them to put their emotions on the table, face the truth and handle business....together.

Super excited to have a Wiki and Leen story! Though they are twins, I liked how they each want to be individuals and explore their hobbies and interests from the beginning. I enjoyed seeing the girls use their skills at Cosmos Camp and having it tied to Petey Thunkle made it that much more interesting. This book did an amazing job highlighting STEM for middle grades; making it fun and entertaining.

Really loved following along on the adventures of the Legendary Alston boys and was so happy when Giles announced that he would continue in the series with the Epic Ellisons. I love everything space so that was just a cherry on top of the Epic Ellisons' story. There was great connection to the other books, and it stood alone well on its own. This was a great adventure, and the writing was great!

This was a really cute middle grade read. I loved the twins Wiki and Leen and enjoyed following them throughout the book. I also liked how this book had some illustrations throughout it. This was a great time traveling mystery for young readers.
