I really love these time travel type novels, and this one is a series! Score! I really liked this for the most part. I loved the characters and the relationships they built, even with their support unit, i.e. robot. However, I had a hard time believing the change to history as a result of interference in time. The first change in history was definitely believable, but the second had me slightly incredulous. Otherwise I loved this story, and want to read the next ones in the series.

The story in itself was good. The whole idea of time travelling is excellent. But I didn't grow particularly attached to the characters, though Bob the clone and Sal the little girl are cute.
I think that the main problem of this book is the writing and the rhythm. It was long and repetitive and I believe it would have been a lot better if it had been imagined and written as short episodes. Anyway, I'm glad to be done with it.

Ages 10+ (violence)
A whiz-bang adventure story about three time traveling teens (along with their mentor, Foster, and their cyborg buddy Bob). They've been plucked from certain death in their own eras, and now they have to prevent other potential time travelers from changing the past...and the future.
Give it to preteens and young teens who like Haddix's The Missing or Grant's Gone series, or to those who say "give me a book that I can't put down."
Sequels forthcoming.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

En tiedä oliko vika minussa, suomennoksessa vai alkuperäisessä kirjassa, mutta jotkut sanavalinnat tekstin seassa häiritsivät ja veivät keskittymisen pois itse tarinasta. Myös rakenteessa oli alkupuolella vähän hämmentäviä kohtia, mutta kirja toimi muuten ihan hyvin. Melkein kolmen tähden kirja.

I say yet again, I wish GR had half stars. This was 3.5 stars, it was a really fun and enjoyable book. Definitely engaging with good characters. Looking forward to more soon.

I got this from Dirt Cheap books under the promotion "Spend $30, Get a book free"; that said, this book should be in the top 10 teen books in EVERY book store in the world. It takes your perspective of time travel, twists it, moulds it, melts it, plays soccer with it, THEN it tells you what happened. I love books like this! I would recommened this to EVERYONE, but especially to those who like WW2.
