Though this is a classic in the time travel genre of children's literature, and I can appreciate its artistry, somehow I could never warm to it...

Some children's classics don't age so well, this one feels very dated.

Content Warnings
Moderate: Child abuse
The story itself is interesting and also a bit flat; on the surface only kind of story. Moreover, it was written with the purpose of just making it prolonged with extra unnecessary details, which made it really long and boring.
It wasn’t as enjoyable for me at the beginning as the ending was, I quite liked the ending. And I think it was really good written comparing it to my last reads, which were rather rushed to an end.
The characters were lovely, the setting was perfectly put together, although sometimes it was a little hard to imagine. However, I did not enjoy the theoretical and the religious parts; as short as they were, I didn’t think they added meaning to the story itself, they were relatively confusing.
I would recommend this story as a cheerful read to younger ones with skipping the parts about questioning time and the Bible verses altogether.

There is nothing like a good old children story. Those who think we don't need them anymore when we grow up, must have very dull and miserable lives. I guarantee you this book embraces the wonder and joy of childhood and reminds us that dreams are what can colour our lives with marvel.
