I liked the book because it is interesting how Joe, Sam and Fred travel through time. They open a magical book. then they travel through time. They have a lot of exciting adventures. They always try to avoid opening the book but somehow they always end up opening it. John Scieszka also wrote other interesting books like the "Stinky Cheeseman and other Fairly Stupid Tales." In that book he spoofs fairy tales. I have read most of his books. This one, in my opinion, is the most interesting of his books. His books are witty and sarcastic.

The Time Warp Trio are at it again! This was a GREAT book! I usually don't like science fiction books but I really liked this book. The Time Warp Trio are in the future. Everything is different and things from now are old-fashioned. Pencils are actually antiques! I would recommend this book to readers ages 5-8 years old.

This book was great! This is the only book where the Time WARP Trio travel forward in time. I liked the way that the authors described the future. I also thought it was funny because the Time WARP Trio meet their grand-grand-daughters. I won't tell any more because you'll just have to read it to yourself. I rate this book five stars because it was funny like all the other Time WARP Trio books.

The Time Warp Trio (Fred, Sam, and Joe) warp into the future. In the year 2095 they end up in a museum, the same museum that they were in, except in the future. They try to get back to their own time (1995). They run into some weird people, such as director Green and Uncle Joe. The problem in this story is that Fred, Sam, and Joe can't find the book. The book is the thing that allows them to go into the future and past, like a time machine.

This book is awesome because it is the only one I know of that goes into the future. In the past you already know what happened because you can just look it up in some history book. But the future is unexpected. I thought that the idea of the going into the future was great. This book was the first time warp trio book I ever read, and then I read some more because it dragged me into the series. If you like time warping I think you will want to read 2095.

This was a great book. I never read any other of Jon's books. But I liked this book. It was about 3 boys that travel from the year 1995 to the year 2095. They meet 3 girls that are actually their great grandkids. They looked very similar to each other. Will they be able to get back to 1995. You must read this great story to find out!

I liked this book so much, I have read it about 5 times

Synopsis: Joe, Sam and Fred are in a class field trip to the American Museum of Natural History, where they have to follow the class and answer questions on the Museum Worksheet to learn about how people will live in the future and how they lived in the past. In the Museum, Joe opens `The Book' to show Sam and Freed the picture of a magic square. They tap the year 2095 in the square and suddenly find themselves in the future. In order to get back to their own time, they have to find the book in the year 2095, where it is mysteriously disappeared somewhere.

Review: I enjoyed reading this book. It was interesting following the Trio on their adventure in the future, where they encounter SellBots, anti-gravity disks, 3D advertising, not to mention their own great-grand daughters! The illustrations were also nicely drawn by Lane Smith.

Probably the only part of the book that I thought was unnecessary was towards the end, where The Trio travel with their Uncle Joe through all their previous adventures, which I found dragging, and didn't add to the plot of the story.

All in all, this is one of the better books in the "Time Warp Trio" series, and I would definitely recommend it to those who have and who have yet to read the series.

The book had interesting parts but it wasen't all that great.It;s about a kid an his grampa that own a dog and a potato farm. Drew Migett Mike Miles

The Time Warp Trio books are an excellent series for young readers. My 8-year old son has read every one and is now re-reading his collection! Each story deals with time travel - forward or back. 2095, like the others in the series, is a fast-paced, funny, and well written story. So far, these are my son's favorite books and I highly recommend them to any parent who wants their child to discover the joys of reading.

The situation is a familiar one to children's librarians nationwide. A wide-eyed youngster walks in, clutching the latest "Captain Underpants" edition to its chest. The child has read through every Dav Pilkey book out there and the parent is desperate to keep them reading something... anything! So what do you hand a child that has gorged his or herself on a steady diet of fart and poop jokes? Jon Scieszka to the rescue. As an author, Scieszka has attempted to gets boys to read as much as possible. Checked out www.guysread.com if you don't believe me. Now none of this is to say that "Captain Underpants" is strictly a guys book. Of course it isn't. But boys do make up the majority of the readers and finding them additional material is nigh unto impossible sometimes. That's why I love "The Time Warp Trio". No, they're not too smart. No, they won't make your child an instant Honor Student (not on purpose, anyway). These are just books that slip in tiny bits of factual information along with interesting plots and storylines that are fun. And "2095" is just one of the many.

As our story begins, our three heroes Fred, Sam, and Joe are facing a deadly Sellbot, 100 years in the distant future. A quick flashback to the past and we see how they got in that difficult position. As always, the three boys have a magic book that usually drops them in unknown time periods for no apparent reason. Fortunately, Joe seems to have found a solution to the problem. The boys, for the first time, are able to tell the book what year they'd like to go to. And what time period could be more fun than a quick shoot to 100 years in the future? Once there, however, the guys bite off a bit more than they can chew. They have to escape enraged curators, dodge sellbots, learn how to levitate, and order $151 pizza slices. The real question is, will they ever be able to make it to the past again alive?

Admittedly, this is not one of the stronger "Time Warp Trio" titles. Unlike some of the previous books, Scieszka doesn't plumb this rich material for all it's worth. The future looks like every other "Jetson" inspired flying car fantasy. Also, it's clear that the author hasn't much hope for future medical technologies if his heroes are convinced that they'll be dead 100 years in the future. Shouldn't they have done 200, just to be safe? The plots a little jumpier here than in the other books and some lines of though are a little too frantic.

But honestly, we're not debating the merits of a Shakespearean sonnet. We're talking about good crude fun. The kind of book that comes up with an amazing array of ways to describe the act of vomiting in a somewhat classy manner. Now, if you're kid has already fallen for the Time Warp Trio books and you're looking for OTHER boy series reads, I'm rather partial to the "Sidekicks" series by Dan Danko. Otherwise, stick with this trio and you'll be just ducky. Good for those kids that yearn for reading matter that's more silly than cynical.
