Time Villains
by Victor Piñeiro
This fun middle grade novel is based on the question “if you could invite three historical figures to dinner, who would you invite. But in this adventure story, there’s a twist. What if you had a magic table that brought them to life? And then another twist. What if one of those people was a deadly pirate who escapes?
This story has a fun and engaging plot and a fantastic and original cast of characters, each with their own interests and quirks. Javi has a great voice and sense of humor and a love of food (which he happily describes to us). He’s also a bit hesitant in the quest to find the pirate, which makes him all the more human and likeable. Javi’s best friend Wiki is your information and plan-making guy. His analytical nature, along with his fear, is a great contrast to Javi. And last but definitely not least, as she will proudly tell you, is Brady, Javi’s sister. Her feistiness rivals the scariest pirate.
Together, along with a list of other characters I cannot mention because it will give plot points away, they take readers on an adventure to save the world from a tyrant and find strengths they didn’t realize they had. Except for Brady. She’s a force to be reckoned with.
This book is perfect for all middle grade readers and will bring out a joy of reading in even the most reluctant reader.
