lindageorge's review against another edition

This book is a hoot! I think boys and girls will enjoy this time traveling group who get into a little bit of mischief as they try to figure out exactly what the janitor at their school is trying to destroy! Grades 3 and 4 would be perfect.

Ghostly Thief of Time was an excellent story to read with my 6 year old. She was able to follow right along with it, and loved the randomly included pictures and silly opinions interjected by the boys.
There are some stories that are hard to read with your child, but thankfully Ghostly Thief of Time was not one of them. My child is easily amused, but we both liked the book because the unique format of 'hand-written' notes with the pictures that were actually part of the story instead of being just illustrations. This made it easy to keep the kiddo involved with what we were reading, and I could count on a picture every few pages to draw her attention back to it if she started to wonder.
Plus, it tackles one of life's great mysteries! Just why in the world DOES time go so slow in certain places? Now, unlike the Scooby Gang, the EMU club finds an unusual explanation, but that's all part of the fun. Every little kid, I think, wants to save the world, and Ghostly Thief of Time definitely gives children that experience on an easy-to-understand scale.
I highly recommend this cute, fun EMU Club adventure book to any parents out there.
