I'll make this short. It was alright. Most of the time I wavered back and forth between putting the book away without finishing it or just ploughing through. It really wasn't bad. It just wasn't my cup of tea. I still haven't decided if I'll read the sequel to finish the cliffhanger. Probably not.
I liked the incorporation of historical details, and going back and forth between past and present. The plot felt slow to me; the characters just OK. The main problem, I think, is the inconsistency in credulity of the characters belonging to 1763. I'm not really feeling compelled to read part two, b...
I kept seeing this at the library. It actually IS the first book? My cousin had told me that it was the second, and the library couldn't get the first because it was overseas and they weren't able to order it. Huh. I've been lied to for over a year. Jesus.
We're going to go ahead a call this a bust as a read-aloud. We started it two different times and never finished it. Oh, well. I still loved it, even if the kids didn't.
This is an absolutely wonderful book!! I love the characters and the story is done in a way that is never boring and always interesting and entertaining. I really enjoyed the history parts, too. An absolute wonderful read!! :D
I had picked up this book when I was in grade 5. The cover seemed interesting to me so I decided to give it a go. Less than a hundred pages in I put the book down cause I didn't understand 3/4 of what was going on. So it was to my surprise when I went to the library and found all three books in the ...
So good! Loved it. The story, characters, writing, even the semi-logic behind the time travel were brilliant. Peter's father has important business to attend to and sends Peter with their housekeeper to her friend's family farm in the country. The Dyer family is a big family whose siblings are all v...
Two children from our time are accidentally sent back to 1763, where they make the acquaintance of Gideon Seymour, former pickpocket and cutpurse, and his arch-enemy, the Tar Man. I liked it, but didn’t love it.
Absolutely brilliant! Excellent, realistic and utterly likable characters. I loved Peter and Kate. And how awesome is it that the authoress is able to tell a tale of time travel, quantum physics, parallel worlds, and the logistical quandaries that would arise thereof, without sacrificing the readers...
