Not a lot of depth, but cute. The characters kept me reading until the end. Reminded me a bit of Terry Pratchett.

This book was cute and funny but at the same time very wise. The characters are lovable and well developed while the plot has some excellent twists and turns. Very imaginative, an entertaining read for sure!

A good kids adventure! Discussing issues that are important in positive and affirming ways. I quite enjoyed the audio book I got from libro.dm

I received an arc of this book from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Things I liked:
-Gertrude (Moo) was an unique character and I liked her a lot.
-I also liked how after Amy was struck by lightning she was able to hear Gertrude and they could communicate.

Things I didn't really like:
-There was a lot of bullying, which I get it was part of the story, but still.
-It got kind of boring for me towards the middle, it could have gone a little bit faster.

The theory of this book is really cool. The hoodies they wear? Cool. The storyline itself? Pretty middling and unforgettable.

And a disability-awareness fail.

Spoiler

Moo doesn't speak, and doesn't move on her own. But she can communicate telepathically and is "cured" and able to move on her own by the end of the book. Meh.

Also the use of "stuck in a wheelchair" on p.84.

I liked that the two gutsy kids from the past being the MC's parents, but their t-shirts saying "Kung" and "Foo"? Not appreciated.

This book is simply magical. I loved it! It is very quick, engaging read about two very bright and wonderful little girls named Amy and Moo. It has science, and time travel and cute illustrations at the beginning of each chapter. I am very much looking forward to reading this with my daughter in a year or so when her attention span for chapter books has improved. I highly recommend this to anyone that is fan of junior fiction about strong, adventurous, bright little girls.
