Good read so far, interesting story structure jumping between perspectives.
I really need to stop picking books based on how pretty their covers are.
I’d guess maybe 6th grade reading level but I enjoy time travel and after a second person recommended it to me I thought I should try it. Peter and Kate travel back in time to 1763 and try to return home
Borrowed from a student. He loves the accuracy of the history and science. I love the interaction between two time-worlds.
I really liked this book. It was....different. I liked the characters and the character development throughout the story. There was a lot of good detail and accurate information about the past, but it wasn't like a history book. With action on every page, I finished this book in record time. I would recommend this to people 10+, including adults.
this was a great historical fiction!
I enjoyed the storyline and I want to read the second book

I think kids will enjoy this historical fiction. I'll do a more formal review later.
As an adult, it didn't really grab me or hold my attention as well as other kid lit has recently.

this book is interesting…. i got done reading it and couldn’t decide if i’d call it sci-fi or historical fiction. basically, two kids (a boy and a girl) who hadn’t met until that day are accidentally transported back to 1793 and have to figure out how to get back using the help of some local people they sort of fell upon. literally. it was a pretty good book, but if i put it down for more than a day or two i’d forget who all of the minor fringe characters were. too many. ending leads into at least one sequel if not a series. one of the more interesting twists to this relatively common theme is that time doesn’t come to a standstill in the kids’ normal world. the narrative switches between the two worlds. in fact, the kids can “blur” between both worlds themselves, appearing as ghosts in their normal era and scaring the pants off of the locals. middlingly interesting.
