Sounded like a good story, book ‘looked’ good….but it did not hold my attention, and I read a lot of books! I gave up reading it halfway through, which is long enough to give a book a ‘chance’. It may be recommended for a teen, but that is about it.

This was one of my favourite books of last year. I really liked the open ending. That there is more to the story after we leave it. Saying that I’ll be buying the sequel as soon as it comes out! 🙂

In reply to Jenny. I work at an academic library and other libraries won't loan books that are less than a year old usually. Hopefully the public library that is being built close to my house will have a copy! Or I should buy it, maybe with birthday money.

I am so excited about the sequel, because I’m pretty sure they’re going to a camp and it is so rare to see time travellers actually go to really painful places in history. In general they are off having japes, with a bit of danger. This seems like it will be different. I would really like a spin off novel first though, one about Jacob’s grand father’s war time experiences + monster fighting, but then I am greedy.

I didn’t love this like I hoped to, but I’m such a sucker for endings where people team up to fight evil and/or daringly rescue someone that I’m still looking forward to the sequel. (Although I’ll definitely have to reread this one first, because it’s faded in the couple of months since I read it.) Plus, yes, pictures in books are awesome. Illustrated books bring me joy.

In reply to Jenny. ebooks have the pictures, but they were sort of small and not as clear as in the physical book. And that letter? Was completely unreadable. One of the girls was thinking of doing the audio version and the one girl who had already read it was like "Noooooooooooooo!" You would lose half the story if you didn't have the pictures.

In reply to Jeanne. Quite rightly! (With limits. Some of my university's author alums are...let's say not my cup of tea.)
